Live from NPR News, I'm Janine Herbst. The U.S. government plans to deport Kilmar Abrago-Garcia to Uganda next week,

according to his lawyers court filing this weekend. Abrago Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador earlier this year,

was released from federal custody yesterday. And Pierce Camilla Dominozki has more.

In an admitted mistake, federal officials sent Abrago Garcia to a notorious Salvador in prison. On

his return, the government charged him with human smuggling, which he denies. Abrago Garcia, who

has not been convicted of any crime, left a Tennessee jail on Friday to return to his family in

Maryland. The Department of Homeland Security responded to the release with a statement calling him

a monster. Abrako Garcia's lawyers say that prosecutors have offered to deport him to Costa Rica

if he pleads guilty to the charges. Now, immigration officials say he will face deportation

to Uganda, a choice the lawyers

call coercive.

laid off as part of agency reorganizations.
