MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia has finally run out of places to hide. After months of legal maneuvering and radical court interventions, the Trump administration has announced that the convicted criminal will be deported to the small African nation of Eswatini.
Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien originally from El Salvador, was living in Maryland before his first deportation earlier this year. He was sent to El Salvador and placed in the infamous CECOT prison, which houses some of the world’s most dangerous gang members. That should have been the end of the story, but left-wing judges intervened and ordered him returned to the United States, where he quickly became a political and legal headache.
He doesn’t belong here.
He won’t be staying here.

The gang member, who also has a history of domestic violence, was previously ordered removed by an immigration judge. However, under that ruling, he could not be deported back to El Salvador. Instead, the administration attempted to send him to Uganda. Predictably, Abrego Garcia resisted. In his legal filings, he claimed he would face “persecution and torture” in Uganda based on race, nationality, political opinion, and alleged membership in a social group.
That excuse did not fly with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, ICE informed Abrego Garcia’s attorneys this week that he will instead be deported to Eswatini, a small landlocked country in southern Africa. Officials noted that Abrego Garcia had made similar claims about 20 other nations, a strategy ICE dismissed as “hard to take seriously.”
The Department of Homeland Security even shared the update publicly, posting on social media that the gang member does not belong in America and will not be staying here. “America is a safer nation without this MS-13 gangbanger in it. Good riddance,” DHS declared.
For President Trump’s administration, the case underscores the broader effort to dismantle MS-13 and ensure that dangerous criminals are removed from U.S. soil. Deportation to third countries, particularly when a criminal cannot return to his homeland, is an increasingly common solution. The message is clear: no matter how many excuses or legal tricks gang members attempt, they will not be allowed to remain in the United States.
Abrego Garcia’s days of terrorizing communities in Maryland are over. His removal to Eswatini closes another chapter in the fight to put American safety ahead of foreign criminals’ excuses.
