Trump Administration Fails to Detail Steps for Return of Wrongfully Deported Maryland Resident

Despite court orders, Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains detained in El Salvador as federal authorities provide limited updates and shift responsibility to Salvadoran officials.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident wrongfully deported to El Salvador, is confirmed to be alive and held in the Terrorism Confinement Center under Salvadoran authority.
The Trump administration admitted the deportation was an administrative error but has not outlined concrete actions to comply with court orders for Garcia's return.
The U.S. Supreme Court and a federal judge have mandated the administration to facilitate his return, with daily updates required on efforts and progress.
President Trump’s statements on the case have been inconsistent, recently deferring responsibility to El Salvador’s President Bukele ahead of their upcoming meeting on Monday.
Garcia’s attorneys have called for contempt proceedings against the administration, citing delays and lack of compliance with judicial directives.
