Famed "Maryland Dad" Kilmar Albrego-Garcia Arrested; Will be Deported to Uganda

His lawyer is crying "but he doesn't even speak the language!"

The most-spoken language in Uganda is... English.

I imagine they're right: The "Maryland Man" probably barely speaks English. But that didn't stop him from running a profitable human-trafficking business in America.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Democrats' so-called "Maryland Man," on Monday for deportation proceedings. Homeland Security officials say the 30-year-old illegal alien, tied to MS-13 and accused of trafficking and abuse, is being processed for removal to Uganda.

Key Details:

A Department of Homeland Security statement confirmed that Garcia, "a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador," was arrested in Maryland and is now in ICE custody.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said, "President Trump is not going to allow this illegal alien, who is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator to terrorize American citizens any longer."

Democrats have rallied around Garcia, framing the case as a "due process" fight, but polling shows the public overwhelmingly views him as a gang member, highlighting political risks for Democrats.

Diving Deeper:

On Monday morning, ICE agents detained Kilmar Abrego Garcia--nicknamed by Democrats and mainstream media outlets as "Maryland Man"--and began deportation proceedings against him. According to the Department of Homeland Security, Garcia, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, is now being processed for removal to Uganda.

...

The case has a long and contentious history. Garcia was deported to El Salvador earlier this year. By June, he was returned to the United States to face charges of transporting migrants illegally; he pleaded not guilty. Now, with restrictions on sending him back to El Salvador, Garcia is likely to be deported to a "safe third country" such as Uganda, which has agreements in place with Washington to accept deported individuals.

Despite credible accusations of domestic abuse, gang activity, and labor trafficking, Democrats and activist groups have spent months defending Garcia under the banner of "due process." Progressive media have highlighted him as a symbol of resistance to Trump's immigration agenda, but a Harvard/Harris poll from June shows 62 percent of registered voters believe Garcia is "likely" tied to MS-13. That polling underscores the political risk: defending a figure accused of such crimes alienates voters at a time when border security and immigration remain top concerns.

His own lawyer confirms he can't speak Uganda's most-spoken language of English:
