Overview

  • Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongfully deported to El Salvador due to a 2025 administrative error, remains detained despite a 2019 U.S. court order protecting him from removal.
  • The Trump administration continues to defy multiple court rulings, including a unanimous Supreme Court directive to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return to the United States.
  • Senator Chris Van Hollen met with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador after initial access was blocked, revealing the detainee's isolation and lack of communication with his family since deportation.
  • El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele refuses to cooperate, mocking Van Hollen’s efforts and asserting that Abrego Garcia will remain in Salvadoran custody.
  • The U.S. government has paid El Salvador $15 million to house deportees, drawing criticism over the intersection of immigration policy, foreign aid, and human rights concerns.
