U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) admitted to an "administrative error" that led to the deportation of a Maryland man to El Salvador, according to a declaration filed on Monday. The man, who had protected legal status in the United States, was subsequently incarcerated in an El Salvadorian prison.
The ICE declaration acknowledged the error, stating that the man's deportation was a mistake. While ICE has not provided specific details about the nature of the error, the agency is reportedly taking steps to address the situation.
The man's identity and the specifics of his protected legal status have not been released. The incident raises questions about ICE's procedures and safeguards to prevent wrongful deportations, particularly those involving individuals with legal protections in the U.S. Further investigation into the matter is expected to determine the root cause of the error and prevent similar incidents in the future.
