Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who entered the United States without permission around 2011 after fleeing gang violence, was detained after reporting to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Baltimore. He was previously granted an order protecting him from deportation to El Salvador but was deported in March due to an administrative error. Abrego and his family deny repeated accusations of MS-13 affiliation. His lawyers state he suffered physical and psychological torture while detained at El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot). He faces human-smuggling charges and possible deportation to Uganda after declining an offer to go to Costa Rica; a criminal trial is expected in January.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia who has been thrust into the middle of an acrimonious deportation saga by the second Trump administration has been detained after reporting to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents in Baltimore on Monday. The only reason he was taken into detention was to punish him, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, an attorney representing Abrego, told a crowd of supporters outside a Baltimore Ice field office on Monday.
Though the Trump administration admitted that Abrego's deportation was an administrative error, officials have repeatedly accused him of being affiliated with the MS-13 gang, a claim Abrego and his family vehemently deny. During his detention at El Salvador's so-called Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot), Abrego was physically and psychologically tortured, according to court documents filed by his lawyers in July.
