Federal Judge Orders Return of Maryland Man Mistakenly Deported to El Salvador
A federal judge has ruled that the U.S. government must return a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran prison due to an administrative error. The man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, has been described as a father of five who was sent to El Salvador under controversial circumstances despite having legal protections. The judge has given the Trump administration until the end of the week to bring him back to the United States. This case has sparked outrage in the community, as supporters rally for his return amid claims that he is not a gang member as previously suggested. The administration has admitted its error but expressed difficulty in rectifying the situation.
