4 keys to the case of Kilmar Abrego, the Salvadoran migrant who fights for not being deported for the second time of the USA.

Abrego García could now be sent to Uganda after having refused to sign an agreement with prosecutors who accuse him of having been a migrants trafficker, his lawyers reported.

His case has been emblematic in the controversial immigration offensive of President Donald Trump, who has ordered the mass arrest and deportation of undocumented, even of some who have legal protection such as Ábrego García.

This particular Salvadoran migrant has been involved in a political and judicial dispute since its first detention. Here we review 4 moments in your case.

Ábrego was a worker in the metallurgical industry in the state of Maryland, where he lived with his wife, Jennifer Vasquez, an American citizen, and three children.

He arrived in the United States as undocumented at the age of 16. According to his lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, he was fleeing the threats against him in his native El Salvador.

Since 2019 it had a guarantee called “removal suspension”, which prevented the US government from returning it to their country of origin for the risk of violence he faced.

That year was arrested when I was in the parking lot of a construction supplies store looking for work.

An immigration judge then determined that he was irregularly in the US, and at a process hearing, a confidential informant said that Abrego was an active member of the Mara Salvatrucha.

According to the authorities, El Salvadoran failed to demonstrate in that process that he was not a member of that group, nor that his liberation “would not mean danger to others.”

This has been summoned by Trump's government to justify his expulsion from the country.

The Salvadoran had requested asylum, who was rejected by a judge who, in return, granted him a “suspension of removal” and a work permit.

However, the migrant was arrested in his car by federal authorities on March 12.

In one of the so -called “express deportations” that the Trump government is making, it was sent to the terrorism confinement center (CECOT) in El Salvador.

His case generated protests that quickly reached the national debate in the US about the anti -immigrant raids of the Trump government and the faults to due process in some cases of detention and deportation of undocumented.

US activists and congressmen

The US government argued that a deportation was correct, but a Maryland official acknowledged that it was an “administrative error.”

After the latter, the US Supreme Court partially supported the order of a federal judge, Paula Xinis, who ordered the government to “facilitate” the return of the Salvadoran to US territory.

But his return was not immediate.

The migrant spent the rest of the month of April and all May in the CECOT, where he says he was “severely beaten, deprived of sleep and psychologically tortured” during the three months he was hospitalized there.

After judicial and political fluctuations, Ábrego García was finally returned to the United States on June 6.

However, it was not released, as federal prosecutors presented an accusation against them for traffic of undocumented immigrants, weapons and drugs, as part of the MS-13 gang, according to the Department of Justice.

The Salvadoran rejects these accusations and declared himself not guilty.

Judge Barbara Holmes granted the provisional freedom for the migrant, but her release was delayed one month at the request of her defense, which feared that migratory agencies arrested him again and deported again.

This after Trump government officials said they could try to deport it to Mexico or South Sudan.

On August 22, another judge, Waverly Crenshaw, confirmed the decision of Holmes and ordered his probation.

Abrego García moved home in Maryland, but he had to appear on Monday to a migration appointment.

There he was arrested again by the ICE agents.

“The reason is simply that they have decided to stop him to punish him for exercising his constitutional rights,” lawyer Sandoval-Moshenberg told reporters, who said they did not receive any explanation from the authorities.

He assured that his client rejected an offer to declare himself guilty of the traffic positions of people in exchange for being deported to Costa Rica.

An agent said they would take him to a detention center, but did not specify which one.

His lawyer argued that there were no reasons to stop his client, since he carried a monitor in his ankle and was “basically under house arrest.”

His family and defense now fear that a second deportation occurs, this time to Uganda, a country with which he has no known links.

Noem alleged, without providing evidence to support him, that Abrego García is “guilty of people traffic and domestic abuse” and that President Trump will not allow “continuing to terrorize US citizens.”
