BALTIMORE (TNND) -- Video of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is trending after he called the government corrupt while being escorted by an ICE agent in handcuffs and shackles.
The 30-year-old Salvadoran national is back in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, after showing up for an ICE interview in Maryland on Monday morning and getting detained.
He faces the possibility of being deported to Uganda, but the Trump administration said they would send him to Costa Rica if he pleaded guilty to human smuggling, according to his lawyer.
A federal judge ruled on Monday that the Trump administration cannot deport him to Uganda, according to The Associated Press. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama-appointed judge, mandated this order.
The footage shared by the Department of Homeland Security showed Abrego Garcia walking through an ICE field office with the caption, "He doesn't belong here. He won't be staying here. America is a safer nation without this MS-13 Gangbanger in it. Good riddance."
He is heard saying, "gobierno corrupto," which translates to corrupt government, as he walks towards the elevators.
Abrego Garcia's attorney, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, said a lawsuit had been filed in federal district court in Maryland shortly after his detention, asking for an order that he not be deported.
"I expect there's going to be a status conference very promptly, and we're going to ask for an interim order that he not be deported, pending his due process rights to contest deportation to any particular country," he said.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said officials were processing Abrego Garcia for deportation.
"President Trump is not going to allow this illegal alien, who is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator to terrorize American citizens any longer," she wrote on X.
In March, Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported to his home country of El Salvador and held in the notorious CECOT prison before returning to the U.S. in June under a judge's orders. He was immediately jailed before being released on Friday from a jail in Tennessee.
