Trump Administration Confirms Mistakenly Deported Man Alive in El Salvador

The Trump administration confirmed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is alive and currently detained at the Terrorism Confinement Center. This update follows a court order from U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis mandating daily reports on Garcia's status and efforts to return him to the U.S. Garcia's legal team argues that the government is not doing enough to facilitate his return, despite a Supreme Court ruling requiring the administration to act. The administration acknowledges the deportation was an 'administrative error' but insists that they cannot compel Salvadoran authorities to release him. Meanwhile, Garcia's attorneys are seeking to hold the Justice Department in contempt for not expediting his return. The case highlights ongoing concerns regarding the treatment of immigrants and the impact of deportation policies.
