To ICE, Kilmar Abrego Garcia‘s life is basically a toy. Having earned their ire by committing the heinous crime of making them look foolish by deporting him by mistake, then vowing he would never return to the United States, and bullying him when he did return, they’ve finally settled on their ultimate punishment.
Garcia will be banished to Eswatini. You’re forgiven for breaking out the atlas on this one, as this is a minuscule landlocked country that’s almost entirely encircled by South Africa. ICE was planning to remove Garcia to Uganda, which is as ridiculous a destination. But, apparently taking him at his word that he’d face “persecution or torture” there, they have instead chosen Eswatini.
