U.S. Ordered To Return Maryland Man Mistakenly Deported To El Salvador

2 weeks ago A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to arrange for the return of a Maryland man to the United States after he was mistakenly deported to a notorious El Salvador prison. U.S. immigration officials admitted to erroneously expelling Kilmar Abrego Garcia last month. A 2019 court order barred him from being deported to his native El Salvador, where he faced persecution by local gangs. The White House has argued that he was an MS-13 gang member and shouldn’t be returned. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys have said there is no evidence he was in MS-13. The judge issued the order Friday in response to a request from the attorneys.
