"The United States government has reaffirmed its position that it plans to deport Salvadoran immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia, despite arguments that doing so would be vindictive."
"Abrego Garcia, however, has said that, if he must be deported, he would prefer to be sent to Costa Rica, and the government there has indicated it would accept him."
"In March 2025, less than three months into Trump's second term, Abrego Garcia was wrongfully deported to his native El Salvador, in violation of a 2019 protection order that found he could face gang violence if returned to the country."
"In early April 2025, Judge Xinis ruled that the US government had to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return to the country, and later that month, the US Supreme Court upheld her ruling in a unanimous decision."
Kilmar Abrego Garcia's wrongful deportation to El Salvador in 2025 has drawn criticism of the Trump administration's mass deportation policies. Despite a protection order against his return due to gang violence risks, the administration insists on deporting him to Liberia. Abrego Garcia prefers Costa Rica, which has agreed to accept him. Critics argue the government's actions are retaliatory. Initially described as an administrative error, the deportation faced legal challenges, leading to a court ruling that mandated his return to the US, upheld by the Supreme Court.
