Trump Administration Confirms Kilmar Abrego Garcia Alive in El Salvador Prison

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador, remains detained in the Terrorism Confinement Center despite a Supreme Court order mandating his return to the U.S. U.S. State Department official Michael Kozak confirmed that Garcia is 'alive and secure' but did not provide details on actions being taken to facilitate his return. Garcia's deportation occurred on March 15, 2023, despite a previous court ruling barring such action due to safety concerns. Judge Paula Xinis has demanded daily updates from the Trump administration regarding Garcia's status and efforts to comply with the court's ruling. His attorneys are pushing for stronger measures given the administration's perceived defiance of the court order. The situation has raised significant concerns about due process and the treatment of deportees under U.S. policy.
