HYATTSVILLE, Md. (7News) — A Maryland father, Kilmár Abrego Garcia, 29, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is seeking a federal judge's order to compel the Trump administration to bring him back to the United States.

A court hearing is set for 1 p.m. on Friday in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Before being sent to his native country of El Salvador, Abrego Garcia lived in Beltsville, Maryland, with his wife Jennifer and their five-year-old son, who has “hearing problems” and “is intellectually disabled and has a speech disorder," according to the court documents. The family includes two other children, and both Abrego Garcia and Jennifer have full-time jobs.

Documentation filed by Abrego Garcia's lawyer states that on March 12, Abrego Garcia was driving with his son in the backseat when he was pulled over by ICE officers and detained. After Jennifer arrived, he was allegedly taken away without explanation.

The document also indicates Abrego Garcia was transferred to several detention centers, and Jennifer last heard from him on March 15, when he called and said he was being sent to CECOT prison in El Salvador, one of the largest and most notorious prisons in the world.

According to the filing, Abrego Garcia came to the United States illegally in 2011. It states he was fleeing gang violence in that country and that starting around 2006, gangs had stalked, hit, and threatened him to get his parents to give in to extortion demands.

Earlier this week, the White House acknowledged that Garcia's deportation was due to an "administrative error." However, they refuse to allow his return, alleging that he is a member of the MS-13 gang.

Garcia's lawyers argue that there is no evidence supporting this claim.

However, the government said he was found to be a danger to the community in 2019 because of his alleged gang affiliation, and that was reaffirmed after an appeal. They also said in a 2019 filing that the source that accused Abrego Garcia of being in MS-13 was “proven and reliable.”

A court document filed by Robert Cerna, the Acting Field Office Director for ICE, argues that Abrego Garcia’s attorney has failed to meet several other standards that would immediately reverse his deportation and that the U.S. federal court now lacks jurisdiction over the case because Abrego Garcia is no longer in U.S. custody.

“On March 15, although ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error,” said a court document filed by Cerna.

A rally in support of Garcia is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday in Hyattsville. His wife is expected to be in attendance.
