Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 30-year-old Salvadoran national, faces deportation yet again. After being mistakenly deported to El Salvador earlier this year, he was returned to the U.S., detained, and charged with human smuggling. Now, federal authorities are giving him two choices: accept a plea deal that would send him to Costa Rica, or face deportation to Uganda.

Get involved in state-level prayer with IFA.

 

Kilmar Abrego Garcia faces federal human trafficking and smuggling charges after a 2022 traffic stop where he was found with eight undocumented passengers, no luggage, and gave a false address. Abrego Garcia has pleaded not guilty, asking the court to dismiss his case. His attorneys remain cautious in public statements, but the Justice Department has made its stance clear: he presents a “clear danger” through alleged smuggling, and accountability must be pursued.

Abrego Garcia has an American wife and children in Maryland who are directly impacted by these proceedings. While the legal system works through his charges, his family bears the emotional and spiritual burden of uncertainty.

The issue of illegal immigration is not new, but cases like this bring it to the forefront of public consciousness. As believers, we must pray both for righteous governance and for families caught in these painful circumstances. It is possible—and necessary—to pray for America’s leaders to make wise, just decisions while also praying for the victims of his human trafficking to find peace, provision, and ultimately hope in Christ.

This story also serves as a reminder that America’s immigration system needs reform that aligns with biblical principles: clear justice, firm borders, and protection for American citizens. Temporary fixes or inconsistent enforcement only deepen the crisis, leaving families torn apart and communities unsafe.

Above all, this moment calls for prayer—for elected officials who must make difficult choices, for families affected by these policies, and for wisdom and discernment across the nation. May God grant us leaders who honor justice and families who lean on Him for strength in times of trial.

Heavenly father, I ask for protection of this man’s wife and family in Maryland. Walk with them through the grief in their hearts now. May she open her mouth and speak of Your power and Your goodness, Your comfort and Your truth. May the wife be brave and may she educate others who have been deceived or even before the deception as how to walk through their healing and cling to You.
Help them with their issues of trust again. May he the perpetrator come to know you as his Lord and Savior. And may he tell the good news of the gospel like Saul to Paul. May many come to know Your son Jesus and your overwhelming grace through this horrific incident.

In Jesus’ matchless name,
Amen

Praise God! This man needs to be deported. May this set an example, and may all illlegals be returned to where they came from. We MUST get them out of our nation quickly. We cannot afford to keep them here, plain and simple. Lord, may this be an example of how to rid ourselves of these people who came here illegally. Thank You Jesus.
