Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland sheet metal worker, was wrongfully deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

A federal court rejected a DOJ bid to block the return of Maryland illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, warning the Trump administration must not override due process or rule of law.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongly deported from the United States last month, told a visiting U.S. senator that he was moved from a notorious Salvadoran prison to a detention center with better conditions — a statement made during a meeting that the American lawmaker said was staged by the Central American country’s government to make it look like a retreat.
