The Trump administration filed a statement late on Saturday confirming that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is alive and detained in a facility there. This filing came in response to a court order demanding daily updates on Abrego Garcia’s status and efforts to bring him back to the United States. Abrego Garcia’s lawyers referenced President Trump’s remarks about facilitating his return following a Supreme Court ruling, but Trump later appeared to backtrack in a social media post. The two leaders are scheduled to meet to discuss the situation. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys are requesting the court to order the government to take specific steps to comply with the injunction, show cause why they should not be held in contempt, and provide expedited discovery of the government’s actions. The Supreme Court had previously rejected the administration’s appeal to delay Abrego Garcia’s return, but the government had requested more time to provide information. Abrego Garcia is a legal resident protected from deportation, mistakenly sent to El Salvador along with alleged gang members. Immigration officials have acknowledged the error. A hearing is set for Tuesday to assess progress in bringing Abrego Garcia back to the U.S.
