Overview

• Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant wrongfully deported despite protected status, remains detained in El Salvador's high-security CECOT prison.
• Senator Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador to push for Garcia's release, accusing the Trump administration of defying judicial orders and providing false claims about Garcia's alleged MS-13 affiliation.
• The US Supreme Court ruled Garcia's deportation illegal and ordered his repatriation, but the administration has yet to comply, citing a different interpretation of the ruling.
• Judge James Boasberg warned of potential contempt proceedings against US officials for ignoring his injunction to halt deportations to El Salvador.
• The Trump administration continues deporting migrants under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, paying millions to El Salvador, a practice drawing criticism over its legality and human rights implications.
