US Deportation Error Sends Man to El Salvador Jail | JQJO

A federal judge will hear a case on Friday concerning Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a legal resident accidentally deported to El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison by the Trump administration. Garcia's wife is pleading for his return, while the administration claims he's an MS-13 gang member. Garcia's attorney denies this, stating he fled gang violence in El Salvador and has no criminal record. The lawsuit seeks Garcia's repatriation and cessation of US payments to CECOT, where he faces alleged torture and death threats. The administration argues US courts lack extradition authority.
