At least one man has been illegally deported from the US to a hellhole prison in El Salvador by mistake, the Trump administration admitted in legal paperwork filed in court Monday.
Maryland resident Kilmer Armado Abrego-Garcia, married to a U.S. citizen who he shares a five-year-old child with, is suing the Trump Administration over his illegal removal from the US.
'Through administrative error, Abrego-Garcia was removed from the United States to El Salvador,' the legal paperwork filed by Trump's team said.
'This was an oversight, and the removal was carried out in good faith based on the existence of a final order of removal and Abrego-Garcia’s purported membership in MS-13.'
Abrego-Garcia arrived at the notorious supermax prison CECOT in El Salvador March 15 on one of three planes from the US.
