Kilmar Abrego Garcia.  - Someone with protected, legal status - Was deported to the ONE PLACE he could not legally be deported - Without seeing a judge - After being accused of being a gang member (BUT NOT CHARGED WITH A CRIME) and with no proof of any kind  - And he is now in an abusive super-prison known for its violations of human rights The US government admitted in court that Kilmar’s deportation was due to “administrative error.” They admitted that ICE did, in fact, know about Kilmar’s status.  The government now argues that they can not do anything about it. He’s in El Salvador’s custody now and the US has no way to get him back (despite the fact they’re paying for his incarceration).  They also argue that the US judge lacks jurisdiction to say they have to bring him back, because, well, Kilmar is not in the US, and the judge doesn’t have jurisdiction outside the US.  Welcome to the US! A country that accidentally deports people against our own laws, and then argues with the court that there is nothing that can be done. Please ensure this mistake is fixed and he is brought home to his family.
