Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia was sent back to the United States to face criminal charges involving alleged undocumented immigrants smuggling rings, and several months later he was wrongly deported to the prison of his native El Salvador.

Abrego Garcia has been sued in federal court in Central Tennessee for the allegations related to undocumented immigration in the United States.

A lawyer for married father called "abuse of power" and accused the Trump administration of playing games with a federal judge who ordered him to return to the United States a few months ago

From 2016 to 2025, Abrego Garcia and others conspired to bring undocumented foreigners to the United States, such as Guatemala, El Salvador, El Salvador, Honduras, Ecuador, elsewhere, and elsewhere, eventually traveling through Texas in Mexico. ”

A grand jury that issued the indictment ruled that he had conducted more than 100 smuggled trips to smuggle thousands of immigrants.

The indictment was released on May 21, but was sealed until Friday, until Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced at a Friday press conference that Abrego Garcia had landed in the United States.

"The grand jury found that over the past nine years, Abrego Garcia has played a major role in alien smuggling rings," Bondy said.

“They found it was his full-time job, not a contractor. He was a smuggler for humans and children and women… MS-13 members, violent gangs, members of terrorist organizations, the entire country.

Bondy said Abrego Garcia was allegedly involved in "death of more than 50 immigrants after the overthrow of Mexico in 2021."

The Attorney General also detailed the allegations in the indictment where Abrego Garcia was not charged.

She also said he “abuses undocumented alien women, who, according to accomplices, were under control when transporting the entire country, transporting them throughout the country” and “guns and narcotics throughout our country.”

The Attorney General also said: "One accomplice accused the defendant of requesting nude photos and videos of the minor."

“Accomplices also claimed that the defendant played a role in murdering the mother of a rival gang member,” Bondy said. “These facts show that Abreg Garcia poses a danger to our community.”

"The government has disappeared from Kilmar to foreign prisons for violating court orders," Abrego Garcia's attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg said in a NBC 4 statement in Washington, D.C.."

"Now, after months of delays and confidentiality, they brought him back, instead of correcting the error, they were going to sue him," Sandoval Mosanberg said.

"It shows that they've been playing games with the courts all the time. Due process means a chance to defend themselves before punishment, not afterwards. It's an abuse of power, not justice," Sandvaval Mosanberg said.

“The government should have tried him, yes, but before the same immigration judge, he heard his case in 2019, which is the ordinary way to do things, 'to ensure his case is handled because if he is not improperly sent to El Salvador,' is ordered by the Supreme Court."

The Trump administration said Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13, a notorious gang that the United States considers to be a foreign terrorist group. He denied being a gang

On March 12, Abrego Garcia was detained by U.S. immigration and customs law enforcement officers in Maryland.

Three days later, he was deported, which the government later admitted was a mistake.

Abrego Garcia was banned by a judge from dismissing him to El Salvador for fear that he would be persecuted there.

Despite admitting that he shouldn't be removed from office, the Trump administration claims that Abreg Garcia could not be brought back to the United States even after a U.S. District Court judge ordered his return, even after a U.S. District Court judge ordered it to promote his return.

The Supreme Court upheld the order in April.

In an article on Friday X, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele wrote: "As I said in the Oval Office: 1. I will never smuggle terrorists into the United States. 2. ⁠ I will never release a gang member on the streets of El Salvador."

"That is, we work with the Trump administration and of course we won't refuse if they ask gang members to return to face charges," Buckler wrote.

"The Maryland Democrat, who went to El Salvador to visit Abrego Garcia, said in a statement: "For months, the Trump administration has violated the Supreme Court and our constitution." ”

"Today, they seem finally reluctant to ask us to comply with court orders and provide due process rights to all people in the United States," Van Hollen said. "As I have repeatedly said, it has nothing to do with a man, but about his constitutional rights, and the rights of all. The government must now file a lawsuit in court because it should have always been."
