Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador and later brought back to the US to face federal criminal charges, has renewed his bid for asylum in the United States as the Trump administration’s effort to deport him to Uganda intensifies.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador earlier this year, is renewing his bid for asylum with a virtual hearing scheduled for today.

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.
