A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. after he was mistakenly sent to a jail in El Salvador. Garcia, a legal resident of Maryland, has been living in the U.S. since 2011. The government had mistakenly deported him due to an administrative error. The judge ruled that Garcia must be returned by April 7. The Trump administration accused Garcia of being an MS-13 gang member, but his lawyer denied the claim, stating that Garcia came to the U.S. to escape gang violence in El Salvador.
