The man the Trump administration admitted to mistakenly deporting to El Salvador has been returned to the United States to face federal charges, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Friday.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was among more than 200 individuals deported to El Salvador in March, despite having a court order protecting him from removal.
Federal prosecutors allege Abrego Garcia “played a significant role in an undocumented alien smuggling ring that has resulted in thousands of undocumented aliens being illegally transported into and throughout the United States.”
