The U.S. government has admitted that the deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was legally residing in the country, was due to an "administrative error." According to a court filing by the Trump administration, Abrego Garcia is now incarcerated in El Salvador.

The case highlights the complexities of immigration law and the potential for errors in the deportation process. It also underscores the challenges faced by individuals who are mistakenly deported and the difficulties in securing their return to the United States. The situation is ongoing, and legal experts are closely monitoring developments.
