Salvadoran prison officials reportedly told wrongfully detained Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia that his tattoos were not gang-related, a direct contradiction of President Donald Trump's repeated claims that he bore MS-13 symbols and posed a violent threat, according to attorneys.
Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador's CECOT prison by the Trump administration in March despite a standing court order prohibiting it, has accused both U.S. and Salvadoran authorities of subjecting him to abuse, deception and fabricated accusations of gang affiliation.
