Summary

Kilmar Ábrego García, the man unlawfully deported to El Salvador despite facing credible fear of persecution, remains in hiding due to ongoing legal challenges. His lawyer demands a fair trial after new evidence from DHS alleges he abused his wife between 2019-2020, with no criminal charges filed against him in the U.S. The administration's claims of an administrative error and wrongful deportation persist as federal courts grapple with how to facilitate his release while respecting his citizenship status. The case highlights broader debates over immigration rights and due process for non-citizens.
