A federal judge has dismissed a criminal case against wrongly deported Salvadoran immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who accused Donald Trump’s administration of unlawfully targeting him as part of a smear campaign.
Last year, Abrego Garcia was abruptly deported to a brutal Salvadoran prison where he says he endured torture and “severe” abuse for several weeks before he was transferred to a separate jail. Government officials admitted in court that his removal was due to an “error,” and several federal judges and a unanimous Supreme Court ordered the administration to “facilitate” his return.
