President Donald Trump told an April 30 Cabinet meeting that he has not spoken with El Salvador’s president about returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States after the man was deported to El Salvador almost seven weeks ago.
Abrego Garcia, 29, a Salvadoran national identified by U.S. authorities as an illegal immigrant and suspected MS-13 gang member, was deported to El Salvador in March despite a 2019 judicial order barring his removal to his home country. The Trump administration said an “administrative error” led to his deportation.
