Supreme Court Orders Trump Administration to Facilitate Return of Wrongfully Deported Salvadoran Man
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, deported due to an admitted administrative error, remains detained in El Salvador as the Supreme Court mandates his return without setting a deadline.
- The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador in March 2025.
- Garcia, granted protection from deportation in 2019 due to gang-related threats, was deported following claims of gang affiliation, which his lawyers argue lack evidence.
- The Trump administration admitted the deportation was an administrative error but continues to assert disputed allegations linking Garcia to MS-13.
- The Supreme Court's decision does not impose a specific deadline for Garcia's return, leaving the timeline for his repatriation uncertain.
- The case highlights broader concerns about executive overreach, outdated legal statutes, and the potential for arbitrary deportations under current U.S. immigration policies.
