Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who had been living in Maryland and legally protected from deportation, had been held in a Salvadoran prison since March 15.

Media coverage labeled Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a "Maryland father," but new details reveal his alleged involvement in human smuggling and criminal activity, complicating the narrative around his deportation case.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is back in the United States after being indicted in Tennessee on federal charges involving migrant smuggling, Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

Washington — A lawyer for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the mistakenly deported man who was recently brought back from El Salvador to face charges in the U.S., said his case is bigger than one individual.

The Trump administration complied with an order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia after he was mistakenly sent to his native El Salvador, the DOJ argued.
