Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was sent to El Salvador on March 15.
Despite a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official acknowledging there was an "administrative error" in sending a Maryland man to El Salvador -- the Trump administration is "shockingly" not seeking his return to the U.S., according to a new filing by the man's lawyer.
Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who has a U.S. citizen wife and 5-year-old child, is currently at CECOT, the notorious prison in El Salvador despite a judge issuing an order in 2019 that barred authorities from deporting him to his home country.
Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, the attorney representing Abrego Garcia said in a filing on Wednesday that if the Trump administration's actions are allowed to remain without "redress," then "the orders of immigration courts are meaningless."
