The Trump administration released new documents detailing the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man deported to El Salvador in an “administrative error.” The documents revealed that police believed he was a member of the MS-13 gang based on clothing and anonymous sources, despite having no criminal history. Abrego Garcia was previously granted a withholding of removal in 2019, allowing him to stay in the U.S. temporarily, but was deported in 2025 after being stopped by immigration agents. The Supreme Court ruled the government must facilitate his release from a prison in El Salvador, but President Nayib Bukele refused. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys emphasized the importance of due process and access to counsel. New documents also mentioned Abrego Garcia’s detainment in a murder investigation, which he denied. His wife sought a protective order in 2021, but it was dismissed. The government appealed a court order to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S., with the judge questioning the evidence against him. The judge threatened contempt proceedings against the government for lack of response. Abrego Garcia’s supporters continue to fight for his return.
