Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man wrongfully deported by the Trump administration earlier this year, are asking a federal judge to sanction the government for allegedly refusing to cooperate to facilitate his return to the United States.
Abrego Garcia has been at the center of a high-profile immigration dispute since his deportation to El Salvador, which immigration officials justified by alleging ties to the MS-13 gang. He returned to the U.S. last week after the Trump administration delayed compliance with a Supreme Court ruling that ordered his return for nearly two months.
