Kilmar Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, even though a U.S. judge had ordered he must not be sent there. He’s now stuck in a dangerous prison, and his wife and kids want him back home. The judge overseeing this case is unhappy with the Trump administration because they haven’t done much to fix the mistake, even though she ordered them to bring Garcia back.
The government says his deportation was an “error,” but claims Garcia is part of a criminal gang, MS-13, even though they haven’t provided solid proof, and Garcia has no criminal record. El Salvador’s president has refused to send him back, and the situation has turned into a tense legal and diplomatic issue. Garcia’s wife says he’s a hardworking family man trying to live the American dream.
