Who is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man ICE mistakenly deported to an El Salvador prison?
Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s story begins in his native El Salvador, but it’s become increasingly unclear where it will end.
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return to the U.S. from a notorious prison, rejecting the White House’s claim that it couldn’t retrieve the Salvadoran national after mistakenly deporting him.
Trump administration officials on Monday pushed back against the idea of bringing him back, arguing it was up to El Salvador. The president of El Salvador said he lacked the power to return him, saying it would be “preposterous” to “smuggle a terrorist into the United States.”
Abrego Garcia, 29, lived in the U.S. for roughly 14 years, during which he worked construction, got married and was raising three children with disabilities, according to court records.
