A federal judge determined that a Maryland man, previously deported due to an administrative error, must be returned to the United States by Monday.
A federal judge has intervened in a case involving Kilmar Abergo Garcia, a Maryland resident mistakenly deported to El Salvador last month. On the order of US District Judge Paula Xinis, the Trump administration must ensure Mr. Garcia's return to the US by Monday, following the recognition of his deportation as an "administrative error," as stated in a recent filing by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Mr. Garcia was one of several individuals deported under accusations of gang affiliations, specifically linked to the MS-13 gang. However, his legal representation has contested these allegations, noting that he was granted protection from deportation by an immigration judge in 2019 and has never faced charges in any country. The case has drawn attention to the complexities of immigration enforcement and the need for careful consideration of individual circumstances.
