The Trump administration mistakenly deported a Maryland man with protected legal status, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, to El Salvador due to alleged gang ties. Despite his lawyers’ claims that he is not affiliated with any gangs, ICE deported him to a notorious prison. Abrego Garcia, who fled gang violence in El Salvador, has been married to a U.S. citizen and has children. The allegations of gang affiliation stem from a 2019 arrest where local police claimed he was a member of MS-13. Despite being granted protection from deportation back to El Salvador, ICE deported him due to an administrative error. The administration argues against his return, citing alleged gang ties and a lack of jurisdiction. Abrego Garcia’s case highlights the challenges faced by immigrants with protected status and the controversial practices of the Trump administration with regard to deportation.
