Kilmar Abrego, the migrant whose wrongful deportation to El Salvador made him a symbol of President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration policies, was again detained by U.S. immigration officials in Baltimore on Monday, his lawyer said, while facing the possibility of being deported again, this time to Uganda.

Abrego, 30, was deported in March despite a 2019 U.S. immigration court ruling that he not be sent back to his native country due to a risk of persecution by gangs. Abrego was flown back from El Salvador in June to face criminal charges of transporting migrants living illegally in the United States. He has pleaded not guilty.

He was released from criminal custody in Tennessee on Friday and returned to a family home in Maryland after more than five months of detention, including time in a mega-prison in El Salvador known for its harsh conditions.

But Abrego was detained again by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday upon reporting for an 8 a.m. interview. U.S. officials have offered to deport him to Costa Rica – like El Salvador, a Spanish-speaking country in Central America – if he pleads guilty to the charges, according to his lawyers. Without a guilty plea, Abrego could be removed to Uganda in East Africa.
