Kilmar Abrego Garcia is set to appear again in federal court in Maryland as he continues to fight against his deportation. The Trump administration seeks his removal to a third country despite previous rulings barring his return to El Salvador due to fears of persecution. After being mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran mega-prison and later returned to the U.S., Abrego Garcia’s criminal charges were dismissed by a federal judge who found the investigation was tainted with vindictive motives. His legal team argues that forcing him to relocate to an African country where he has no ties is unconstitutional, advocating instead for his designation to Costa Rica, which has offered refugee status and residency.

Story summary
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison despite a 2019 court order barring his deportation due to fears of persecution, returns to federal court in Maryland on Tuesday. The Trump administration initially removed him from the U.S. in March 2025, claiming he was associated with MS-13, which Abrego Garcia denies. After being returned to the U.S. last June following a Supreme Court ruling, he faced human smuggling charges but was released by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis while awaiting trial. In May, a federal judge dismissed these criminal charges, citing "vindictive motive" in the government's investigation against him. Abrego Garcia and his legal team argue that the U.S. government insists on deporting him to an African country instead of Costa Rica, where he originally requested to be sent, alleging this move is retaliatory for exercising his constitutional rights.
