Summary
ICE admitted it mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia—despite his legal protection from removal—to El Salvador’s brutal CECOT prison.
A Maryland judge had barred his deportation due to gang threats in El Salvador.
The Trump administration claims it can’t intervene since he’s no longer in U.S. custody.
His family is suing to compel his return. The administration also deported over 200 Venezuelans using emergency powers, some without criminal records, sparking legal challenges and criticism of its use of the Alien Enemies Act.
“I’m an American citizen” they plead as they being thrown into the back of the ICE van.
ICE does not care.
Narrator “They were indeed an American citizen. Born and raised in America.”
