U.S. immigration officials say they intend to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda after he declined an offer to be deported to Costa Rica in exchange for remaining in jail and pleading guilty.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was taken into custody Monday by immigration authorities and the Department of Homeland Security said he is being processed for deportation to Uganda.

Judge Xinis blocked the Trump administration from removing Abrego Garcia to Uganda, for now — citing a lack of assurances from the country in question as to his legal status there.
