US EditionKilmar Abrego Garcia says he fled gang violence in El Salvador. He became a political flashpoint in the US
- Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an admitted MS-13 gang member from El Salvador, was deported from Maryland to his home country in early 2025.
- Two judges ordered his deportation at the end of Trump's presidency after he was arrested with gang members for human trafficking and charged with domestic abuse.

- The case highlights tensions over immigration enforcement, executive action, and the court's role in facilitating deportation and return processes.
