Abrego is expected to be taken into ICE custody during his appointment Monday. He faces deportation to Uganda and has been offered a plea deal that includes eventual deportation to Costa Rica.

The Trump administration deported Abrego Garcia in March, accusing the Salvadoran national of being a MS-13 gang member — a label he and his attorneys have rejected — and sent him to a brutal Salvadoran megaprison, where he was jailed for nearly one month.
