Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who had been living in Maryland and legally protected from deportation, had been held in a Salvadoran prison since March 15.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is back in the United States after being indicted in Tennessee on two federal charges involving migrant smuggling, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday.

Lawyers argue that the government “thumbed its nose” at both the court and the law, ignoring explicit orders to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return from El Salvador.
