Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 member, was wrongfully deported by the federal government to El Salvador's dangerous CECOT prison. His lawyers argue that the government has not complied with court orders for his return, stating there is no evidence of any steps taken to facilitate this. Despite prior asylum protections and a 2019 court ruling barring his deportation due to safety concerns, he was removed under controversial legal provisions. His case highlights ongoing legal disputes over immigration enforcement and compliance with judicial decisions.
The government's updates do not indicate that any steps have been taken to comply with this court's and the Supreme Court's orders. There is no evidence that anyone has requested the release of Abrego Garcia.
The move went against a 2019 court order blocking Abrego Garcia's deportation over concerns he would have been targeted by groups like the Barrio 18 gang.
To give any meaning to the Supreme Court's order, the government must actively facilitate the man's return, rather than simply removing 'domestic obstacles'.
