April 4 (UPI) -- A Friday hearing is set for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father mistakenly deported by the Trump Administration to a supermax prison in El Salvador.

Abrego Garcia's lawyer Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg said, despite the mistake no government efforts have been made to return Abrego Garcia to the United States.

"Every other time that that happened, as soon as I essentially convinced them that they messed up. Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, bent over backward to try to fix it. Right now, they haven't taken a single step."

Abrego Garcia, who has not been charged with a crime, has sued federal officials maintaining that a judge's 2019 protection order should have prevented his deportation.
