Oct. 24 (UPI) -- The Department of Justice filed a motion Friday to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia, a country to which he has no ties.
The Department of Homeland Security has received "diplomatic assurances regarding the treatment of third-country individuals removed to Liberia from the United States and are making the final necessary arrangements for [Abrego Garcia's] removal," the filing said.
DHS expects "to be able to effectuate removal as soon as Oct. 31."
Abrego Garcia, a Baltimore resident, is a native of El Salvador. He was accidentally deported to a Salvadoran prison in March against a court order. In recent months, DHS has been looking for a new place to send him. It's tried Uganda, Eswatini and Ghana, but those countries refused.
