WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration on Friday unveiled a plan to send Kilmar Abrego, whose arrest and fight to stay in the U.S. have become a flashpoint in its immigration crackdown, to the small African nation of Eswatini.
A U.S. Department of Homeland Security official said in an email to Abrego's lawyers that Eswatini, formerly Swaziland, has replaced Uganda as the country designated for his deportation.
