A federal judge condemned the Trump administration for failing to locate a Maryland resident wrongly deported to El Salvador despite a court order blocking his removal.
Kilmar Abrego García, a Salvadoran citizen living in Maryland with a valid U.S. work permit since 2019, was detained by ICE on March 12, and summarily deported just three days later on March 15, according to the Guardian. His deportation occurred amid a series of expedited flights targeting alleged gang members, many of them Venezuelan, using controversial emergency powers that bypass due process.
