The Trump administration acknowledged mistakenly deporting a Maryland man to a notorious foreign prison—but is arguing against returning him, citing lack of jurisdiction.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration erroneously deported a Salvadoran man as part of three high-profile deportation flights to El Salvador last month, after a judge's ruling prohibited the man's removal to his home country,

The Trump administration said the court didn’t have the authority to order the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

The White House admits a "clerical error" was to blame for mistakenly deporting a Maryland man with protected legal status to a notorious El Salvador prison.

Despite the mistake, officials said Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia can't be brought back since he is no longer in U.S. custody.

The Trump administration has admitted that it mistakenly deported a man to a notorious prison in El Salvador due to an “administrative error,” despite the government’s repeated insistence that there were no errors in their flight determinations.

The Trump administration says that it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

The Trump administration conceded in a court filing Monday that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father to El Salvador “because of an administrative error” and argued it could not return him because he’s now in Salvadoran custody.
