US EditionTrump says he ‘could’ bring Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador, but won’t
- Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant living in Maryland with his family, was deported to El Salvador in March 2025.
- The deportation resulted from an admitted administrative error that ignored a 2019 court order barring his removal due to credible fears of harm.
- Abrego Garcia was initially held at El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center and later moved to a prison in Santa Ana while U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen visited to check on him.
- President Trump stated in an ABC News interview that he could call El Salvador's president for Abrego Garcia's release but refused, claiming Abrego Garcia was a gang member and saying, "I'm not the one making this decision."
- The Supreme Court ordered the U.S. Government to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return, but the administration resists, creating legal and human rights concerns about compliance and his safety abroad.
