The US State Department confirmed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is "alive and secure" but remains confined in a notorious El Salvador prison. The filing did not detail steps to return Abrego Garcia to the US, as demanded by a federal judge. Abrego Garcia was deported after being accused of ties to the MS-13 gang, which his lawyers deny, and is being held in a prison known as CECOT, where the US is paying El Salvador $6 million to hold US detainees.

The White House and El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele have made clear that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador, will not be returned to the US, despite a Supreme Court ruling that the US must "facilitate" his return. White House officials argue it's up to El Salvador to decide whether to return him, and Bukele called the idea of doing so "preposterous" and suggested it would be smuggling a "terrorist" into the US. The meeting between Trump and Bukele solidified their partnership on immigration, with Trump praising Bukele's handling of gangs and urging him to build more mega-prisons to hold deportees.

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele said he won't return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador, despite a Supreme Court ruling that he should be returned to the US. Bukele made the statement during an Oval Office meeting with President Trump, who has been accused of defying the courts and deporting people without due process. Abrego Garcia was deported due to an "administrative error" and has been sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison. Trump's administration has argued that the courts lack the power to dictate steps to return Abrego Garcia, and officials have accused him of being a member of the MS-13 gang, which he has never been charged with. The case has sparked concerns about the rule of law and due process, with some calling for Trump administration officials to be held in contempt.

The Trump administration has renewed its opposition to a court ruling that would force it to bring back a Maryland man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported to El Salvador and is being held in a notorious prison. The Justice Department argued that courts lack the authority to direct the executive branch's foreign policy, and that the president has broad powers to handle such matters. Despite a unanimous Supreme Court ruling last week that ordered the administration to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's release from Salvadoran custody, the administration claims it is not obligated to take specific steps to return him to the US. Abrego Garcia's lawyers have asked the court to order the administration to send a plane to El Salvador to pick him up, but the Justice Department argues that this would intrude on diplomatic relations with El Salvador.

The Trump administration wrongly deported Kilmar Abrego García, a Maryland father, to El Salvador, where he is being held in a maximum-security prison. Despite admitting the mistake, the administration is now trapped in a catch-22, claiming it can't aid in his return because he's in El Salvador, while El Salvador says helping him return would be "smuggling" him back into the US. Both countries are deflecting responsibility, with the US administration arguing that courts can't determine its foreign policy, effectively leaving Abrego García in limbo.
