ICE Erroneously Deports Protected Immigrant to Notorious Salvadoran Prison

ICE mistakenly deported Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran immigrant with protected status in the U.S., to El Salvador's brutal CECOT prison due to an administrative error. Garcia had been granted protection from removal due to persecution in El Salvador. His family is suing the U.S. government to secure his return. This incident highlights serious flaws in U.S. immigration enforcement and raises human rights concerns.
