Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal US resident who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March——a country he fled from what he said was “gang violence,” -——then returned to the US in June, and subsequently charged with human smuggling.
He was most recently arrested by ICE on August 25, 2025, during a court-mandated check-in meeting after being released from custody a few days prior.
His detention is part of an ongoing legal battle and potential deportation effort, with the Trump administration calling him a gang member, trafficker, wife beater, and child predator, allegations his lawyers deny.
“Mistakenly”
Nope.
