The Trump administration may try to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, according to a senior Department of Homeland Security official and a notice sent by government officials obtained by CBS News.
Hours after Abrego Garcia — who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador earlier this year — was released from pre-trial detention in Tennessee on Friday, his attorneys were sent a court-required notice of his potential deportation to Uganda, the official said.
The notice said he may be deported to the East African country "no earlier than 72 hours from now," not including weekends.

Yeah, so they never were even going to try to prove the "human trafficking". Just a sound bite to fuel hatred and justify themselves in half the public's conscience.

His "human trafficking" allegation comes from him being pulled over while driving a bunch of construction workers to a job site.
They want you to speculate that he must have been trafficking women, but they were just a bunch of guys going to work. If they are white, they're only carpooling, but if they're brown, they're human trafficking.

and that's a non-zero number of non-violent detainees in prison here in the united states prior to this year's escalation in violence

The reason they aren't going to let this go is simple; he's their test case.
If they can fuck him over they can do as they please. And lord it over the rest of us.

Reminds me of how Thanos just spontaneously decided to be the nemesis of David, a perfectly ordinary human.

So fucking cruel. My guess is that the man has never been to Africa, nor has he any familial connection to it whatsoever.

White house officials (having false quotes attributed to them on condition of anonymity) say this is totally a "cool and chill" thing to do and definitely not, as some suggest, "the actions of morally bankrupt psychopaths".

Fascinating!

This makes zero sense. But I mean MAGA clowns make zero sense (no offense to clowns).

It makes a lot of sense. If they can make people accept this action then they can deport anyone anywhere anytime. It's the next step in their fascist takeover of the US. It's the equivalent of the Nazi party persecuting their political opponents, mentally ill, homeless, disabled and locking them up in Dachau.

A person cannot be deported to a country they didn’t come from. I believe a more correct correct term is exile or kidnapping.

Oooooh, sorry. Didn't you get the SCOTUS memo? Third countries (e.g. not the US or their original country) are absolutely okay now.
What? The person doesn't speak Ugandan? Oh well not our problem!
This shit is so fucked up.
