The United States government accidentally deported Kilmar Arbrego Garcia, a legal resident protected by a court order, to El Salvador due to an administrative error. Garcia, who lives in Maryland with his wife and autistic child, is now stuck in a notorious mega-jail in El Salvador, where many detainees face allegations of gang affiliations based on their tattoos. His wife only learned of his detention when she saw him in a news article with his head shaved and wearing white overalls. The U.S. government claims Garcia is an active member of the criminal gang MS-13, but his legal team denies this and states that he left El Salvador to escape gang violence. Vice President JD Vance falsely stated that Garcia is a convicted MS-13 gang member. Garcia was arrested by Homeland Security agents and deported despite expecting to be released after an immigration judge hearing. His lawsuit accuses the Department of Homeland Security of deciding to deport him to El Salvador despite the risk of torture and abuse in CECOT, the maximum security prison where he is currently held. Human rights organizations have reported deaths and extreme conditions in Salvadorean prisons, including CECOT. The case is set to be heard by a judge in Greenbelt, Maryland, highlighting the ongoing struggle faced by many immigrants in the U.S. under the current administration’s immigration policies.
