Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father, was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration. The Department of Justice lawyer representing the government in court, Erez Reuveni, was placed on leave after questioning the administration’s handling of the deportation. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ruled that Abrego Garcia must be returned to the United States and criticized the government’s failure to provide evidence or take responsibility for the error. The Trump administration appealed the decision, claiming they have no jurisdiction to bring him back because he is in a foreign country. Abrego Garcia, who fled El Salvador as a teenager to escape gang violence, was arrested and deported despite having a court order barring his removal. The judge also questioned the government’s assertion that he was a member of MS-13. The case has sparked national attention and raised concerns about the government’s treatment of immigrants. Bondi, the Attorney General, stated that any attorney who fails to advocate zealously on behalf of the United States will face consequences. The situation highlights the challenges and controversies surrounding immigration enforcement and deportation policies in the United States.
