Dad Wrongly Deported To El Salvador Now Facing Possible Removal To Uganda By Trump Admin Kilmar Abrego Garcia's stay back in Maryland — and the United States — may be short-lived.

'Cut The Crap:' Congressman Blocked From Visiting Deported Maryland Man In El Salvador Congressman Glenn Ivey's trip to El Salvador took a strange turn when he was denied access to the "Maryland Man" who remains imprisoned after being mistakenly deported. Ivey had a scheduled visit with Kilmar Abrego Garcia in an El Salvador prison but was blocked over the holiday weekend by authorities there—much to the congressman's chagrin. "I came all the way down from the United States after we contacted their ambassador and made a formal request... We came here to visit him today, and now they're telling us we have to go all the way back to San Salvador to get a permit," he said in a vi…
