The US government. Uu. He tells the Court that the man deported by mistake remains confined in a notorious prison, but keeps Mom on his return.
The Trump administration has recognized a federal court that an immigrant, who was mistakenly deported last month, remains confined in a notorious prison in El Salvador, but refused to say what steps he is taking to the United States.
In a judicial presentation on Saturday, the United States Department of State said that Kilmar Abrego García is “alive and safe” in prison, and that he is under the authority of the Government of El Salvador.
Abrego García, 29, lived in the eastern state of Maryland for 14 years, until he was sent by mistake to El Salvador along with more than 200 people, as part of the widespread repression of President Donald Trump against undocumented migrants.
Since then, the United States Supreme Court has issued an order demanding that the Trump administration return Abrego García to the United States.
The last presentation of the State Department occurs one day after a government lawyer had problems at a hearing to provide Judge Paula Xinis with any information about Abrego García’s whereabouts.
Judge Xinis issued an order on Friday that demanded that the administration reveal the “current physical location and the state of custody” of Abrego García and “what steps, if anyone, the defendants have tasks [and] He will take, and when, to facilitate “his return.
Michael G Kozak, who identified himself in the filling as a “senior office official” in the affairs of the western hemisphere’s office of the State Department, said in the last presentation that Abrego García “is alive and safe” at the facilities of El Salvador.
“He is arrested in accordance with the sovereign domestic authority of El Salvador.”
On Friday, Xinis exasperated with the lack of government information.
“Where is he and under whose authority?” The judge said the duration of the hearing.
“I am not scaring state secrets. All I know is that not here. The government was prohibited from sending it to El Salvador, and now I am asking a very simple question: where is he hears?”
The judge repeatedly asked a government lawyer about what had been done to return Abrego García, asking precisely: “Have you done something?”
Drew Ensign, an attached attached attorney general, also told Xinis that he had no knowledge about any action or plans to return to Garcia.
Ensign told the judge that the government was “actively considering what could be done” and said that the case of Abrego García involved three cabinet agencies and significant coordination.
Abrego García had lived in the USA for about 14 years, who worked in construction, married and was raising three children with disabilities, according to judicial records.
If he is returned, he will face the accusations that caused his expulsion: an accusation of 2019 of the Local Police in Maryland that he was a member of the MS-13 gang.
Abrego García had denied the accusation and was never accused of a crime, said his lawyers.
The controversy occurs when Trump is due to the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, in the White House on Monday.
When asked on Friday if Trump would see the return of Abrego García when he meets Bukele, the White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, said the court ruling made it clear that the responsibility of the administration was “to facilitate the return.”
