Kilmar Abrego Garcia was unlawfully transferred to El Salvador and endured beatings and psychological torture while detained there. He was released from custody in Tennessee and is en route to his family in Maryland to await trial. The Trump administration acknowledged that the March deportation resulted from an "administrative error," yet it fought to keep him in El Salvador by asserting unsubstantiated claims that he was an MS-13 member. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the administration must facilitate his return. Abrego Garcia was one of more than 200 people deported to the CECOT prison without trial.
He is presently en route to his family in Maryland, after being unlawfully arrested and deported, and then imprisoned, all because of the government's vindictive attack on a man who had the courage to fight back against the administration's continuing assault on the rule of law. He is grateful that his access to American courts has provided meaningful due process.
The Trump administration acknowledged that its deportation of Garcia to languish in a prison camp in El Salvador in March was the result of an "administrative error." But it fought to keep him there based on unsubstantiated charges that he was a member of the Salvadoran gang MS-13, even after the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the administration must facilitate his return.
