The Trump administration conceded that it sent a Maryland man with protected legal status to El Salvador's infamous CECOT prison by mistake. However, it said it's not able to secure his return due to legal obstacles.
Concretely, lawyers representing Kilmer Armado Abrego-Garcia were told that since he is no longer in U.S. custody, the court can't order his return to the country. The court can't order El Salvador to return him either, leaving the man, who has a 5-year-old son and a wife who is a U.S. citizen, in limbo.
