Greenbelt, MD (20770) – In a stunning legal reversal, the Trump administration has formally acknowledged that the deportation of Kilmar Abrego García—mistakenly sent to El Salvador in March—was a “one-off mistake” caused by an administrative error. This admission comes amid heated federal hearings in Greenbelt, Maryland, and Tennessee as Abrego García fights to avoid being deported again before facing human trafficking charges filed against him. The bombshell acknowledgment shifts the narrative on this high-profile immigration case, raising urgent questions about government accountability, due process, and the handling of sensitive deportations during the Trump era.

Tensions ran high Monday as advocates, supporters, and lawyers gathered outside the courthouse, demanding clarity about whether García will be detained again—and potentially deported—before his June 2025 trial in Tennessee.
The case’s next chapter unfolds against a backdrop of layers: García, a Salvadoran man with protected status and U.S. family ties, was vaulted into the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador after his March 15 deportation despite a 2019 court order blocking such removal. At Monday’s hearing, DOJ attorney Jonathan Guynn stated the removal stemmed from an administrative mistake—described as “an isolated mistake… no pattern or practice”. Yet García’s legal team and Judge Paula Xinis pressed for more detail, highlighting discrepancies in government testimony: one moment DOJ asserted the removal was deliberate, and minutes later called it an accident.
Critics warn this exposes dangerous gaps in oversight that could allow deportation by default—even for those protected by court orders. As Judge Xinis described the situation, trying to pin down government plans is “like nailing Jello to a wall”. With a hearing set this Thursday requiring DHS officials to detail next steps post-release, the courtroom drama heightens—will García be detained in the U.S. to await trial, or again deported abroad without due process?
