After his mistaken deportation to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia faces US charges of transporting undocumented migrants.
A man the Donald Trump administration mistakenly deported to El Salvador has been brought back to the United States, where authorities say he will face criminal charges.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29, a Salvadoran immigrant who had lived nearly half his life in Maryland before he was deported in March, faces charges of transporting undocumented migrants inside the US, according to recently unsealed court records.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday that Abrego Garcia was returned to the US to “face justice”.
The indictment against him was filed on May 21, more than two months after he was deported in spite of a court order barring his removal.
The charges stem from a 2022 traffic stop by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, which suspected Abrego Garcia of human trafficking but ultimately issued only a warning for an expired driver’s license, according to a Department of Homeland Security report.
