In March, the Trump administration illegally sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia and
hundreds of other people to the notorious, extremely dangerous CECOT
prison in El Salvador.^1 Now, Trump plans to send him to Uganda, denying
Kilmar’s constitutional rights to due process and sending him to a country
where the U.S. cannot guarantee his safety.^2
Trump is deporting immigrants to other countries that are plagued with
violence, like South Sudan, where they have no established ties (also
known as third-party countries).^3 From El Salvador and South Sudan to
Angola, Uzbekistan, and at least 16 other countries, ICE is creating a
global network of American-sponsored detention centers in countries often
notorious for violence and human rights violations.^4
The White House has made Kilmar an example of this administration’s
vindictiveness, cruelty, and open law-breaking. Trump will continue to
defy federal laws and terrorize people without due process until Congress
puts an end to these illegal deportations.

ICE has been continuing to traffic detainees to CECOT, the infamous
Salvadoran torture prison where it’s been said “the only way out is in a
coffin.”^5
After releasing Kilmar from federal pre-trial detention ICE once again
took Kilmar away from his family and community. "There was no need for
them to take him into ICE detention," his lawyer said. "The only reason
that they've chosen to take him into detention is to punish him. To punish
him for exercising his constitutional rights."^6
The Constitution is clear: Everyone is entitled to due process in a court
of law, and even those convicted of crimes must not endure cruel and
unusual punishment. Congress must put an end to these horrific, illegal
foreign deportations and renditions.

punishment — release Kilmar, end foreign deportations, and stop illegal
renditions. Thanks for taking action,
