Trump Admin Faces Backlash Over Deportee's Case

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national living in Maryland, was mistakenly deported to El Salvador despite having legal protection against deportation due to safety concerns. The Trump administration admitted the deportation was an 'administrative error,' but claims it cannot retrieve him from the El Salvadoran prison where he is now held. Abrego Garcia's family and lawyers dispute allegations of his gang ties, which the U.S. government used to justify his deportation, and they are suing for his return. The case has sparked criticism of the administration's deportation practices and raised concerns about due process violations, as Abrego Garcia was deported without legal proceedings. His family is demanding action to bring him back to the U.S., but the government argues it lacks the jurisdiction to intervene with the Salvadoran authorities.
