US EditionHow Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s Case Became a Political Flashpoint
MARYLAND, MAY 9 – Kilmar Abrego Garcia was extradited from El Salvador to face federal human smuggling charges after being wrongfully deported despite a court order protecting his U.S. residency.
- Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 30-year-old legal resident of Maryland since 2011, was incorrectly removed from the U.S. and sent back to El Salvador in March 2025, even though a judicial ruling was in place to prevent his deportation.
- The deportation resulted from an administrative error amid the Trump administration's strict immigration enforcement, while the government argued courts lacked jurisdiction to compel his return.
- His case involved allegations of MS-13 gang membership and human smuggling, which his family and attorneys denied as baseless and politically motivated, while immigration judges had granted him withholding of removal due to fear of persecution.
- After bipartisan legal and political pressure, including court orders and advocacy by Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, Abrego Garcia was returned to U.S. custody in early June 2025 and faces federal criminal charges in Tennessee.
- He remains detained awaiting trial, highlighting tensions over immigration enforcement, judicial authority, and due process amid accusations of administrative error and harsh deportation policies.
