In a concerning turn of events, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant living legally in the U.S. with a work permit, was mistakenly deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador in March 2025. Despite the Trump administration labeling this deportation as an “administrative error,” efforts to bring Abrego Garcia back to the United States have been met with resistance.
The plight of Abrego Garcia has sparked outrage and calls for justice, with his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, speaking out during a news conference in Washington, D.C. Representatives Nydia Velazquez and Juan Vargas also joined in, holding pictures of Abrego Garcia to draw attention to his wrongful deportation.
Supporters and activists have rallied in solidarity, demanding accountability and the return of Abrego Garcia to his rightful home in Maryland. Attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, standing alongside Jennifer Vasquez Sura, emphasized the gravity of the situation during a press conference following a status hearing in U.S. District Court.
The public outcry intensified as protests against the deportation took place in Baltimore, further highlighting the urgency of rectifying this grave injustice. Even a meeting between President Donald Trump and President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador failed to provide a solution, with Bukele expressing his inability to intervene in the matter.
As the saga unfolds, the community continues to advocate for Abrego Garcia’s return, underscoring the importance of upholding the rights and dignity of all individuals, especially in cases of such egregious errors in the immigration system.
