Overview

• The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump Administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March 2025.
• Garcia, a Maryland resident and father of three, had been granted protection against deportation in 2019 due to persecution fears in El Salvador.
• The U.S. government acknowledged the deportation as an administrative error but continues to claim Garcia has ties to the MS-13 gang, allegations his attorneys firmly deny.
• Garcia's deportation is part of a broader pattern of mass expulsions, with over 200 individuals deported under controversial justifications and without proper legal review.
• The Supreme Court criticized the government's deportation practices, warning that such errors could set a dangerous precedent for violating legal protections and due process.
