In an email to his lawyers seen by the BBC's US partner CBS, an immigration officer said they were changing last month's decision to send him to Uganda, after Mr Ábrego García raised fears of persecution there.
The officer said the claims were "hard to take seriously" but the US would "nonetheless" agree not to send him there.
It is at least the fourth country floated as a potential destination for the 30-year-old. He was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March, and then returned to face criminal charges.
US officials acknowledged at the time that he was removed in error.
