He has endured a months-long smear campaign against him by this administration after being kidnapped in front of his young child in March and wrongfully deported. He deserves to be home with his family, not in an ICE facility. “Between being unlawfully sent to one of the world’s most notorious gulags in El Salvador, where he was tortured, to returning home, just to face threats of being shipped to another country, and eventually ending up in ICE custody, our government has failed Mr. Abrego Garcia and his family. We are grateful to the federal judges who have refused to give up on due process, and the constitutional protections Mr. Abrego Garcia deserves. “It should never have come to this, but I am so thrilled that he will finally be able to return home and be with his loved ones. And we will continue to fight for justice for him and for the thousands of immigrants detained in this country.” Kilmar Abrego Garcia was kidnapped on March 15, 2025, and was deported through an “administrative error,” as admitted originally by the Trump administration. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
