Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen and Maryland resident, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during his Aug. 25 immigration check-in. A Department of Homeland Security press release said he was being processed for deportation to Uganda, but a district judge ordered that he not be deported until an evidentiary hearing can be held. Abrego Garcia was wrongly deported in March to an El Salvador maximum-security prison despite having a withholding of removal order that barred deportation to his home country. He sued the U.S. government, was returned to the U.S. on June 6 to face criminal charges, and was ordered released July 23 while awaiting trial. Administration officials publicly leveled accusations against him, some of which were characterized as exaggerated or based on dubious informants.
