Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, ICE admits - The Baltimore Banner

Calling it an “oversight” through “administrative error,” the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement admitted this week it had mistakenly deported a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador, according to a court filing.

However, the Trump administration now says the federal courts in the U.S. lack the power to have the man returned.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia — a Salvadoran residing in Beltsville with his spouse, who is a U.S. citizen, and their five-year-old special needs child — was deported from the United States on March 15 despite a grant of formal protection from an immigration judge six years ago.
