The Trump administration's wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident with legal protected status, to the notoriously abusive CECOT prison in El Salvador is a grave injustice. Despite acknowledging this egregious error, the administration claims it lacks the ability to secure Garcia's return from Salvadoran custody. This stance is unacceptable. The U.S. government has a moral and legal obligation to rectify this injustice swiftly. Moreover, credible reports suggest other innocent individuals may also be unjustly imprisoned at CECOT under the guise of targeting gang members. The administration must urgently investigate these cases and expedite the release and repatriation of any wrongfully detained persons. Failure to take immediate corrective action would constitute a shameful dereliction of duty and a violation of human rights. The request is clear - mobilize all available diplomatic channels and resources to secure the unconditional release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and any other unlawfully incarcerated individuals from the brutal conditions at CECOT. Continued inaction is inexcusable when the freedom and well-being of U.S. nationals and innocent people are at stake. Decisive action to right these wrongs is imperative.
