Protests erupt over deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda after rejecting plea deal

The planned deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda has sparked outrage after he refused to accept a plea bargain offered by authorities. Supporters and rights groups have condemned the move, calling it an unfair punishment and a violation of his rights.

According to reports, Garcia had been facing legal proceedings and was offered a plea deal that could have altered his immigration status. However, his refusal to accept the terms led to a deportation order, which has now triggered widespread criticism.

Activists argue that Garcia’s case highlights flaws in the immigration system, where individuals are often pressured into plea agreements to avoid harsher consequences. They insist that deporting him to Uganda, a country with which he reportedly has limited ties, is unjust.

Public demonstrations have been organised in his support, with campaigners urging authorities to reconsider the decision. Legal experts also suggest that Garcia may still have options to appeal the deportation order in higher courts.

The case continues to draw attention internationally, with human rights organisations warning that it could set a troubling precedent for how immigration cases are handled.
