Ábrego is A Salvadoran citizen who had received a protection status in front of deportation in 2019which was supposed to be expelled from being expelled to his country of origin.

«On March 15, although ICE was aware of its protection against deportation to El Salvador, Ábrego García was deported to El Salvador due to an administrative error,» the administration acknowledged in a judicial file derived from a lawsuit requesting its return to the US.

Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, lawyer from Ábrego García, told The Atlantic that he had never seen a case in which the Government has brought to know someone who had already received legal protection from an immigration judge, so they are asking the Court to order the current administration to request the return of the man, and, if necessary, to retain payment to the Salvadoran government for their controversial prison services until the migrant is returned.

For their part, government lawyers are asking the Court to dismiss that request for various reasons, including the fact that the administration would have «primacy» in foreign matters, which would be above the interests of Ábrego García and his family.

The man is currently married to an American citizen and have a five -year -old disabled son, also an American citizen. According to the lawyer, Ábrego García has no criminal record in the United States. His wife identified him for a photo among the detainees transferred to the CECOT, the Salvadoran megacárcel.
