The Trump administration said Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was living in Maryland but entered the country illegally in 2011, was deported to an El Salvador prison due to an administrative error.

President Trump’s aides have dug in on insisting that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was lawfully sent to a prison in El Salvador after the administration had admitted to an “administrative error.”

The government claims he’s a member of the MS-13 gang, which his wife and attorney deny, and deported him to El Salvador despite a judge’s 2019 order barring him from being sent there.
