Overview

• Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident wrongfully deported in March due to an administrative error, remains imprisoned in El Salvador's CECOT facility.
• The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Trump administration must facilitate Garcia's return, but the administration argues it is already in compliance with the order.
• President Trump stated he is open to Garcia's return for a new court hearing but has deferred the decision to his legal team, which has not pursued direct diplomatic requests to El Salvador's president.
• Reports reveal internal dissent within the administration, with career officials initially planning Garcia's return before being overruled by White House political staff.
• Litigation over the administration's compliance with court orders continues, with sealed motions suggesting potential new developments in the case.
