Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be checking in at ICE HQ in Baltimore. Federal prosecutors have said if he could be deported to Uganda in 72 hours if he doesn’t accept a plea deal to human smuggling charges in Tennessee. A rally is being held before his 8a check in.

Early morning heat lightning in the Outer Banks. One of the benefits of working at 4am. I’m at Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. It may soon be tougher to find blue crabs from North Carolina. @wtopnews.bsky.social

I know the saying about teaching an old dog new tricks. As someone who edited reel to reel tape, I’m proud to be part @WTOP’s push to include video in the way we tell stories. It’s been fun learning to record/write edit video on a phone. On the job training for a new skill set.
