U.S. Supreme Court Orders Repatriation of Wrongfully Expelled Salvadoran Immigrant
Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains detained in a Salvadorian high-security prison as the Trump administration faces judicial pressure to comply with the court's mandate.
- The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously upheld a lower court's ruling requiring the Trump administration to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran immigrant wrongfully deported in March 2025.
- Abrego Garcia's deportation was revealed to be an administrative error, as his removal order had been canceled in 2019 by a federal court.
- Despite allegations linking him to gang activity, no evidence was found to support these claims during judicial review, with a federal judge rejecting the accusations.
- Abrego Garcia is currently held in a Salvadorian high-security prison under harsh conditions, complicating efforts to secure his release and return to the U.S.
- The case has reignited scrutiny of the Trump administration's mass expulsion policies, which have been criticized by human rights organizations for potential violations of international law.
