US government wants to deport Kilmar Ábrego García to Uganda

The US government is seeking to deport Kilmar Ábrego García, a Guatemalan immigrant, to Uganda. His lawyers claim that the government is attempting to "coerce" him into pleading guilty by threatening to send him to a country thousands of miles away from his home. The lawyers argue that this tactic is an abuse of power and a violation of his rights. They assert that the government's actions are aimed at forcing Ábrego García to accept a plea deal, rather than allowing him to fully exercise his legal options. The case highlights the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies and the treatment of undocumented individuals in the US legal system. The article suggests that the government's approach in this case may be seen as a concerning precedent for the rights of immigrants facing deportation.
