Overview
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador, is detained in a Terrorism Confinement Center. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled the government must facilitate his return. Despite confirmation of his safety from a State Department official, a federal judge is frustrated with the lack of information regarding the steps being taken to bring him back. Garcia, who has lived in the U.S. for 14 years and has three children, denies gang affiliation allegations that led to his deportation last month. President Trump plans to meet with El Salvador's president to discuss the situation.
