Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongly deported to El Salvador, indicted in the U.S.

Washington — Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant who the Trump administration admitted was mistakenly deported back to his home country, has been charged with two federal criminal counts in the U.S., according to an indictment unsealed Friday.

Filed in the federal district court in Nashville, the indictment charges Abrego Garcia with one count of conspiracy to transport aliens and one count of unlawful transportation of undocumented aliens. Abrego Garcia was removed from the U.S. to El Salvador in March, where he was being held at a notorious supermax prison. 

ABC News reported Friday that he was being brought back to the U.S. to face the criminal charges.
