Trump Administration Moves To Deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia – To Uganda

New court filings reveal that the Trump administration is threatening to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda โ€” a move his attorneys describe as coercive. Abrego, a Salvadoran man mistakenly deported to El Salvador earlier this year, declined a plea deal tied to human smuggling charges. In response, prosecutors withdrew an offer that would have allowed him to enter Costa Rica โ€” a safe, Spanish-speaking country where he’d face no detention after serving time โ€” and instead pursued deportation to Uganda.

His attorneys argue immigration authorities are essentially offering a forced choice: accept guilt and a path to Costa Rica, or refuse and risk being sent to Uganda, where his safety โ€” and legal protections โ€” are uncertain at best.

As The Hill reports:

Federal prosecutors on Thursday offered Abrego Garcia the option to โ€œlive freelyโ€ with refugee or residency status in Costa Rica after serving prison time forย federal human smuggling chargesย in exchange for a guilty plea, per his lawyers in the Saturday filings.

Abrego Garcia, who wasย mistakenly deportedย to a notorious prison in his native El Salvador, declined the offer on Fridayย to instead returnย to his family in Maryland. He had been imprisoned in a Tennessee jail.

After his return to Maryland, Abrego Garciaโ€™s attorneys were notified later in the day that he must report to an Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) field office in Baltimore on Monday โ€” and that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intends to deport him to Uganda.

โ€œThe only thing that happened between Thursdayโ€”Costa Ricaโ€”and Fridayโ€”Ugandaโ€” was Mr. Abregoโ€™s exercise of his legal entitlement to release under the Bail Reform Act and the Fifth Amendmentโ€ฆ,โ€ Abrego Garciaโ€™s defense team wrote.

Saturday’s revelations mark a significant escalation, as Uganda recently entered into a U.S. agreement to accept third-country deporteesโ€” but explicitly excluding individuals with criminal records or unaccompanied minors. Abregoโ€™s legal team contends that his criminal charges make such deportation both inappropriate and potentially dangerous.

Arrest Made In โ€˜Targeted Attackโ€™ At Vegas Tesla Center

One down…

Police have arrested a man in what they called a โ€œtargeted attackโ€ at a Tesla collision center last week.

Officers arrested Paul Kim, 36, on Wednesday on charges including arson and possessing an explosive device.

The fires happened Tuesday, March 18, around 2:45 a.m.

Five vehicles were damaged, including the two engulfed in flames. Police also said they believed the person who set the fires also fired gunshots into the cars.

โ€œHe used what appeared to be multiple Molotov cocktails and firearms to conduct his attack,โ€ Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Asst. Sheriff Dori Koren said during a news conference last week.

The word โ€œresistโ€ was spray-painted on the Tesla centerโ€™s front doors. Police said an unignited Molotov cocktail was found in one of the cars.

Last week, Tesla CEO Elon Muskย referred to the fire as โ€œterrorism.โ€

Other incidents of vandalism have occurred around the country, including two incidents at an Oregon dealership where shots were fired and Molotov cocktails thrown at a dealership.

A 41-year-old man faces charges for those incidents.

Earlier this month, authorities responded to multiple Tesla superchargers being set ablaze in Massachusetts. (RELATED: Trump Hater Accidentally Sets Himself On Fire While Trying To Destroy Tesla Station)

A total of seven chargers were damaged, police said. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi officially labeled the recent vandalism targeting Tesla dealerships and cars as โ€œdomestic terrorism.โ€

โ€œThe swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism. The Department of Justice has already charged several perpetrators with that in mind, including in cases that involve charges with five-year mandatory minimum sentences,โ€ Bondi said in a statement released Tuesday

โ€œWe will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes,โ€ the attorney general said. 

Rosie O’Donnell Asks For Prayers As Daughter Chelsea Faces ‘Scary Future’ In Prison

TV personality Rosie Oโ€™Donnell is appealing for prayers as her daughter Chelsea faces what she calls a โ€œscary future.โ€

Oโ€™Donnell posted on Instagram: โ€œMy child Chelsea Belle โ€“ before addiction took over her life โ€“ I loved her then, I love her now as she faces a scary future โ€“ prayers welcomed. #addiction awareness #love #family.โ€

According to court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, Chelsea had her probation revoked on October 22 and was sentenced to serve time in prison.

In a written statement, Oโ€™Donnell said, โ€œI have compassion for those struggling with addiction โ€” Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her four young children. We continue to love and support her through these horrible times. Prayers welcomed.โ€

Last year, authorities charged Chelsea with two counts of felony possession of methamphetamine and felony possession of narcotic drugs, along with two counts of possession/illegally obtaining prescription drugs and resisting or obstructing an officer. Her arrest followed a traffic stop in Niagara, Wisconsin, where officers pulled over a vehicle for loud exhaust โ€” they recovered a clear smoking device on Chelseaโ€™s person that tested positive for methamphetamine, and a prescription pill bottle containing a handful of pills and a crystal-like substance was found in her possession. At the time, Chelsea was out on bond for separate charges including child neglect and drug possession.

Oโ€™Donnellโ€™s Instagram post on December 3 responding to Chelseaโ€™s earlier arrest read: โ€œSo yes this is true โ€“ after being bailed out by her birth mother โ€“ Chelsea was arrested again โ€“ and is facing many charges related to her drug addiction โ€“ we all hope she is able to get the help she needs to turn her life around.โ€


Bring in the Trump context

Itโ€™s worth noting that Rosie Oโ€™Donnell has for years been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, and the public feud between them has become almost legendary. Back in December 2006, while hosting the daytime talk show The View, Oโ€™Donnell called Trump out over his handling of the Miss USA controversy and mocked him as no moral authority for young people โ€” saying, โ€œThis is not a self-made manโ€ฆ left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affairโ€ฆโ€ People.com+2The List+2

Trump responded with scorn, calling Oโ€™Donnell โ€œa woman out of controlโ€ and a โ€œloser,โ€ threatening legal action though he never followed through. People.com+1 Over the years he repeatedly used her name as a punchline โ€” during the 2016 Republican primary debate when asked about his language toward women he quipped, โ€œOnly Rosie Oโ€™Donnell.โ€ The New Daily+1

In recent years their feud escalated further: After Oโ€™Donnell announced she had moved to Ireland following Trumpโ€™s second inauguration (January 2025), Trump publicly floated the idea of revoking her U.S. citizenship, calling her โ€œa Threat to Humanityโ€ and saying โ€œshe should remain in the wonderful country of Ireland, if they want her.โ€

Mob Of Protesters Storm NYC Trump Tower

On Thursday, Several dozen protesters supporting Mahmoud Khalil occupied the lobby area of Trump Tower on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, calling for the release of the anti-Israel activist who was detained over the weekend.ย 

The protesters, many dressed in red, held signs reading “Free Mahmoud, Free Palestine” and “Fight Nazis Not Students.”

Mahmoud Khalil, a green card-holding Columbia University graduate student and pro-Palestinian activist, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at his university residence Saturday, according to The Hill.  

The Student Workers of Columbia labor union. describes Khalil as a โ€œlead negotiatorโ€ and called on Columbia to reinstate its โ€œSanctuary Campus Policyโ€ after reports of ICE accessing multiple buildings at the school Friday and Saturday.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, also confirmed Khalilโ€™s arrest in a statement Sunday, describing the move as โ€œin support of President Trumpโ€™s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism.โ€

โ€œWe will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported,โ€ Rubio said on the social platform X, sharing a news report regarding Khalil.

Trump celebrated Khalilโ€™s arrest in a Monday post on Truth Social.

โ€œWe will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country โ€” never to return again,โ€ the president said. โ€œIf you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here. We expect every one of Americaโ€™s Colleges and Universities to comply.โ€

The arrest raises serious constitutional questions, as Khalil is a legal permanent resident who has not been charged with any crime. Only an immigration judge has the authority to revoke a green card.

Tom Homan, President Trumpโ€™s border czar, said Monday that federal authorities โ€œabsolutely canโ€ deport a legal immigrant.

โ€œAbsolutely, we can,โ€ Homan told Stuart Varney on Fox Business Networkโ€™s โ€œVarney & Co.โ€ after the host asked about the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a leading pro-Palestinian activist, and if ICE can deport someone who is in the country legally.

Authorities Apprehend Suspect In Trump Campaign Office Burglary

A suspect accused of breaking into a Donald Trump campaign office outside of Washington, D.C. has been arrested, according to reports.

Toby Shane Kessler, 39, was detained on Saturday by the University of California, San Francisco Police Department for squatting in a campus dorm, the Loudoun County sheriffโ€™s office said in a release on Thursday.ย 

Kessler was allegedlyย behind the break-inย at a Trump campaign office in Ashburn, Va., in August. He broke in through the back door of the office and spent a โ€œbriefโ€ period of time there before exiting, according to the Loudoun County sheriffโ€™s office.ย 

The office is also used as the Virginia 10th District Republican Committeeโ€™s headquarters.

The sheriffโ€™s office said that Kessler faces burglary charges, though law enforcement did not say if he took anything from the office. 

โ€œIt is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,โ€ Sheriff Mike Chapman said at the time the incident took place. โ€œWe are determined to identify the suspect, investigate why it happened, and determine what may have been taken as well as what may have been left behind.โ€

In mid-August, the Loudoun County sheriffโ€™s office said Kessler has a โ€œhistory of criminal behavior and appears to have been in the Washington metropolitan area at least since 2018.โ€ 

Trump has not commented on the arrest.

Man Indicted In Arizona Tesla Dealership Fire

An Arizona man could face multiple decades in prison and more than $1 million in fines for allegedly torching a Tesla Cybertruck in Arizona.

Ian William Moses, 35, of Mesa, was indicted this week on five felony counts ofย malicious damageย to property used in interstate commerce. Authorities have alleged that Moses used gasoline and a starter log to try to set the dealership and three Tesla vehicles on fire on April 28, amid a wave of retaliation against tech billionaire and Tesla CEOย Elon Muskโ€™sย involvement in the Trump administration.

The Department of Justice, in a news release announcing the federal juryโ€™s indictment of Moses, shared photos of a burned-out Cybertruck that exploded during the attack.

According to local media reports, the suspect spray-painted graffiti on the side of the building that misspelled the word โ€œTHIEF.โ€

Mesa Police arrested Moses less than a mile away from the Tesla dealership shortly after the fire started, and he was wearing the same clothes as the person seen in surveillance footage pouring gasoline on the building. Officers also allegedly found a hand-drawn map in Mosesโ€™s pocket that had the letter โ€œTโ€ marking the dealershipโ€™s location.

โ€œThere is nothing American about burning down someone elseโ€™s business because you disagree with them politically,โ€ Timothy Courchaine, the interim federal prosecutor for Arizona, said in a statement. โ€œThese ongoing attacks against Tesla are not protests, they are acts of violence that have no place in Arizona or anywhere else. If someone targets Tesla with violence, they will be found and confronted with the full force of the law.โ€

If convicted, each count carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

Attorney Generalย Pam Bondiย said in a statement on Mosesโ€™s indictment that there would be โ€œno negotiatingโ€ on the charges.

โ€œIf you engage in domestic terrorism, this Department of Justice will find you, follow the facts, and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,โ€ Bondi said.

Hunter Biden Issues Blistering Response To $1 Billion Lawsuit Threat

Things are about to get ugly…

First Lady Melania Trump is threatening to sue former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, for $1 billion over “defamatoryโ€ claims linking her toย late financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Melaniaโ€™s attorneyย Alejandro Brito demanded that Biden “immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump,” which were contained in a video interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan and posted to Youtube in early August.ย 

Read the full letter:

“Failure to comply will leave Mrs. Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rights and remedies available to her to recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer,” Brito wrote.

In the video interview, titled “Hunter Biden Returns” video earlier in August, the former first son claimed “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep.” 

Biden also claimed that “Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, and thatโ€™s how Melania and the first lady and the President met.”

“If you do not comply with the above by August 7, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EST, Mrs. Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce her legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for over $1 Billion Dollars in damages,” Brito wrote. “You are on notice.”

A source close to the matter told Fox News that Biden did not comply with the requests by the set deadline.ย 

After Fox News published the piece, however, Melania Trump got Bidenโ€™s reply addressing the attorneyโ€™s letter when Callaghan posted a further interview with him to YouTube on Thursday.

Callaghan, holding up a copy at the interviewโ€™s opening, declared: โ€œThe day of presidential litigation has arrived!โ€

โ€œWeโ€™re here, maybe, to give you the platform to apologize to the first lady for your statements that you made about her possible connection to Jeffrey Epstein,โ€ the host said to Biden.

โ€œF*ck that! Thatโ€™s not going to happen,โ€ Biden laughed.

Defending his comments as citation, Biden continued:

First of all is that, what I said was what I have heard and seen reported and written, primarily from Michael Wolff but also dating back all the way to 2019 when theย New York Timesย โ€“ I thinkย Annie Carneyย and andย Maggie Habermanย โ€“ reported that sources said that Jeffrey Epstein claimed to be the person to introduce Donald Trump to Melania at that time.

Biden added that he would not bow down to pressure or lawsuit threats: โ€œI also think theyโ€™re bullies and they think that a billion dollars is going to scare me.โ€

I have this to say to them: If they want to sit down for a deposition and clarify the the nature of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein, if the president and the First Lady want to do that and all of the known associates around them at the time of whatever time that they met, Iโ€™m more than happy to provide them the platform to be able to do it.

The letter comes after the Daily Beast pulled the article detailing allegations by journalist Wolff that Melania Trump was introduced to her husband Donald Trump via a modeling agent connected to Epstein, after a challenge from the first ladyโ€™s lawyers.

“Editorโ€™s Note. After this story was published, The Beast received a letter from First Lady Melania Trumpโ€™s attorney challenging the headline and framing of the article. After reviewing the matter, the Beast has taken down the article and apologizes for any confusion or misunderstanding,” The Daily Beast posted in place of the article. The url for the article appears to have been amended to remove the original headline and now reads: thedailybeast.com/epstein-this-story-has-been-removed.

It also comes after famed Democrat strategist James Carville apologized to the first lady after repeating the same claim.ย 

Carville opened his latest episode of theย Politics War Room podcastย with a legal note.ย 

“In last week’s podcast episode, we spoke with Judd Legum,” he said. “After the episode, we received a letter from Melania Trump’s lawyer. He took issue with our title of one of those YouTube videos from that episode and a couple of comments I made about the first lady. We took a look at what they complained about, and we took down the video and edited out those comments from the episode. I also take back these statements and apologize.”

An aide to the first lady, Nick Clemens, toldย Fox Newsย in a statement, “First Lady Melania Trumpโ€™s attorneys are actively ensuring immediate retractions and apologies by those who spread malicious, defamatory falsehoods. The true account of how the First Lady met President Trump is in her best-selling book, โ€˜Melania.โ€™” ย 

Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls On Trump To Pardon George Santos

Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) is coming to the defense of disgraced former Congressman George Santos, who is currently serving out his prison sentence.

On Monday, Greene called on President Trump to issue a pardon to Santos, who began his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey last month after being sentenced to 87 months in prison for wire fraud and identity theft. (RELATED: Disgraced Former Rep. George Santos Gets Over 7 Years In Prison)

In a letter to President Trumpโ€™s U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin, Greene wrote:

I am writing to request that your office urge the President to commute the sentence of former Congressman George Santos. In April 2025, Mr. Santos was sentenced to 87 months in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges. I wholeheartedly believe in justice and the rule of the law, and I understand the gravity of such actions. However, I believe a seven-year sentence for such campaign-related matters for an individual with no prior criminal record extends far beyond what is warranted.

As a Member of Congress, I worked with Mr. Santos on many issues and can attest to his willingness and dedication to serve the people of New York who elected him to office. He committed himself to serving his constituents and did whatever it took to represent their interests in Washington, D.C. He is sincerely remorseful and has accepted full responsibility for his actions. Furthermore, my office has spoken with a pastor of his who discussed the regret and remorse of Mr. Santos, agreeing that the sentence imposed is a grave injustice.

While his crimes warrant punishment, many of my colleagues who I serve with have committed far worse offenses than Mr. Santos yet have faced zero criminal charges. I strongly believe in accountability for oneโ€™s actions, but I believe the sentencing of Mr. Santos is an abusive overreach by the judicial system.

Commuting his sentence would acknowledge the severity of his actions and simultaneously provide a path forward in allowing him to make amends for his crimes and strive to better serve the people in his community.

In May, Santos teared up on Piers Morgan Uncensored and pleaded with Trump for a pardon, โ€œcommutation, clemency, whatever the president is willing to give me,โ€ after being sentenced.

The former congressman also requested protective custody after expressing fear of being โ€œbrutalizedโ€ in prison.

โ€œIโ€™m not fearful of dying in there, Iโ€™m more fearful of being severely brutalized and harmed, if you get my drift,โ€ he said.

Watch:

Last month, during an interview with Tucker Carlson, Santos also expressed concern that his time in prison could be a โ€œdeath sentence.โ€

โ€œTucker, can I be honest with you?โ€ Santos asked Carlson, who called Santosโ€™s prison sentence unfair compared to lesser sentences handed to violent criminals.

โ€œI hope you will,โ€ Carlson responded.

โ€œI donโ€™t know that I survive it. Theyโ€™re putting me in a violent prison. Itโ€™s a medium facility. Iโ€™m not a street-wise guy. I donโ€™t know how to fight. Iโ€™m a gay man. Weโ€“ statistics tell you what happens to gay men in prison. I didnโ€™t know I survived this. I, Iโ€™m being honest. I mean, I canโ€™t change that,โ€ Santos said, later saying his only hope is prayer and a longshot pardon from President Donald Trump.

When Carlson pressed Santos on whether he was being serious, Santos insisted he is not โ€œexaggeratingโ€ his fear, saying heโ€™s lived a โ€œshelteredโ€ life that in no way prepared him for prison.

Speaker Johnson Says Trump Deserves Nobel Peace Prize For DC Police Takeover

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is calling for President Donald Trump to be recognized on the world stage after his decisive leadership brought unprecedented safety to the nationโ€™s capital.

On Monday, Johnson said Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize following 11 straight days without a single reported murder in Washington, D.C. โ€” a stunning turnaround after Trump took charge of the cityโ€™s police force.

โ€œThere are MANY reasons why President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize โ€“ but 11 straight days with ZERO murders in Washington, D.C. might top the list,โ€ Johnson posted on social media. โ€œSAFER streets. STRONGER communities. AMERICA IS BACK!โ€

Trump Delivers Where Democrats Failed

The numbers come from the Metropolitan Police Departmentโ€™s own preliminary data: from August 14 through August 24, not one homicide was reported in the city.

This sharp decline follows Trumpโ€™s August 11 takeover of D.C.โ€™s police department, a bold move to re-establish law and order in a city long plagued by violent crime under Democrat leadership. Since Trump stepped in, only two killings have been reported โ€” one on August 11, and another on August 13.

Critics may try to downplay the results, noting there was a 16-day stretch earlier this year without a murder, but itโ€™s clear that Trumpโ€™s hands-on leadership and โ€œlaw and orderโ€ agenda have already had a direct impact on restoring peace and safety to Americaโ€™s capital.

A President Who Gets Results

President Trump has never hidden his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize โ€” and many argue he has already earned it for his historic Middle East peace agreements, his refusal to drag America into new foreign wars, and now, for bringing real results to Americaโ€™s streets.

Even world leaders agree. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing Trumpโ€™s unmatched record of delivering peace and stability.

The Bottom Line

While Democrats and the mainstream media remain silent, the facts are clear: Trumpโ€™s leadership is saving lives. Speaker Johnsonโ€™s call for Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize isnโ€™t just political theater โ€” it reflects the reality that Trumpโ€™s America First agenda delivers real safety, real security, and real peace.

Ghislaine Maxwell Submits Plea To Supreme Court, White House To Intervene In Criminal Case

On Monday, Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, called on the Supreme Court to overturn her sex trafficking conviction.

โ€œWe are appealing not only to the Supreme Court but to the President himself to recognize how profoundly unjust it is to scapegoat Ghislaine Maxwell for Epsteinโ€™s crimes, especially when the government promised she would not be prosecuted,โ€ attorney David Oscar Markus said in a statement. 

Maxwell’s attorney argues her conviction violates a nonprosecution agreement Epstein signed with federal prosecutors. The appeal turns on the scope of the 2007 deal, which let Epstein avoid federal charges for pleading guilty to state-level sex crimes in Florida and serving 18 months in prison. 

The deal was signed by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Lower courts ruled the deal only covers that district and doesnโ€™t apply to federal prosecutors in New York, where Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for aiding Epstein in abusing underage girls. 

โ€œRather than grapple with the core principles of plea agreements, the government tries to distract by reciting a lurid and irrelevant account of Jeffrey Epsteinโ€™s misconduct,โ€ Markus wrote in the new brief. 

โ€œBut this case is about what the government promised, not what Epstein did.โ€ 

Last week, Maxwell sat for a two-day interview with the Justice Departmentโ€™s No. 2 official, Todd Blanche. (RELATED: Justice Department Seeks Meeting With Ghislaine Maxwell In Epstein Case)

The new statement came as Maxwell made her final plea to the Supreme Court on Monday before the justices decide whether to take up her case. Maxwell filed the appeal in April, and the justices are poised to consider it upon returning from their summer recess.

The Justice Department has so far opposed Maxwellโ€™s Supreme Court appeal.

Markusโ€™s latest comments mark his most direct suggestion yet of Trump intervening. Markus said Friday he hadnโ€™t spoken to the president yet about a pardon and โ€œweโ€™re going to take one day at a time.โ€

Trump has punted on whether he would pardon Maxwell. Trump said Monday that โ€œIโ€™m allowed to give herโ€ a pardon, but โ€œnobodyโ€™s approached me.โ€ 

โ€œIโ€™m allowed to give her a pardon,โ€ Trump insisted, repeating a claim he made on his way to Scotland on Friday. โ€œNobody has approached me with it or asked me about it. Itโ€™s in the news about that, that aspect of it. But right now it would be inappropriate to talk about it.โ€
