As the Department of Homeland Security continues to seek the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the agency said Friday it had identified a new country of removal that has agreed to accept the wrongly deported Salvador native: the West African nation of Liberia.

In a court notice filed Friday, Department of Justice attorneys said DHS 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.”

According to the notice, DHS expects “to be able to effectuate removal as soon as October 31.”

    It is absolutely unconscionable that they are sending people to faraway places they’ve literally never been to and have no familial connection to. It’s sickening. Fucking monsters.
