The Trump administration ousted a Justice Department lawyer who conceded that it initially mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant and alleged MS-13 gang member whom the White House attempted to return to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador in March, has been indicted and brought back to the U.S.

Trump administration seeks dismissal of Abrego Garcia deportation case after his return to U.S., while lawyers plan sanctions over handling of his transfer from El Salvador.

To say the Trump administration has "complied" with a judge's order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is "pure farce," his attorneys said in a filing.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the man at the center of a political and legal maelstrom after he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, was being heldin a Tennessee jail after being flown back to the United States on Friday to face new charges of transporting undocumented migrants.
