President Trump held a meeting with El Salvador's leader, Nayib Bukele, who refused to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a man mistakenly deported to a dangerous prison in El Salvador. Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old father of three who gained protected status in 2019, was deported in an acknowledged administrative error. While the Supreme Court directed his return, Trump’s aides argued against it, leading to increasing tensions. Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen plans to visit El Salvador if Abrego Garcia is not returned, highlighting the broader implications of this case for immigration law and diplomatic relations.
In an Oval Office meeting today with President Trump, El Salvador's leader said that he would not return a man who was wrongly deported from the U.S. and sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador.
Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old father of three, came to the U.S. illegally in 2011, and gained protected legal status in 2019.
Trump administration officials acknowledged that his deportation was an administrative error, while the Supreme Court ordered the government to facilitate his return.
Chris Van Hollen, a Democratic senator from Maryland, said he would travel to El Salvador this week if Abrego Garcia was not returned.
