Trump Admin Admits Error in Deportation to El Salvador | JQJO

The Trump administration admitted to mistakenly deporting Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national with protected status, to El Salvador due to an administrative error. Garcia, who fled gang violence, was deported despite an immigration judge's 2019 ruling protecting him from removal. The administration claims it cannot return him as he's now in Salvadoran custody, despite concerns about his safety in CECOT prison. This marks the first acknowledged error in recent El Salvador deportation flights, which are currently embroiled in legal challenges.
