What is happening with this, and all the other people sent down there that should not have been. |
Except for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who has received a lot of attention, the plight of the others deported with him is unknown due to lack of transparency on the part of the US and Salvadoran governments. CBS News published a list of 238 Venezuelan deportees’ names, which has become an unofficial guide, but there's no single source of real-time stats on what's happening with these folks. Our government doesn't feel they owe anyone an answer as to the status or welfare of the deportees, including to the families of the deported. Regarding pending cases, there are at least these two: *Garcia's case referred to as Abrego Garcia v. Trump which is being handled by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis and focuses on Garcia’s individual deportation in violation of a 2019 court order, with ongoing proceedings about his return to the U.S. The latest on that is that on May 9 (today) the Trump administration is due to submit sworn testimony and documents by 6 p.m. to detail efforts to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return, as ordered by Xinis. Xinis also set May 12 for renewed motions based on these submissions, potentially addressing contempt or sanctions if non-compliance persists. *A class-action lawsuit brought by the ACLU, J.G.G. v. Trump, handled by Judge James Boasberg, which addresses the broader deportation of ~137 Venezuelan migrants which does not include Garcia (but includes people like Andry, the gay makeup artist). As of May 9, a joint motion to govern future proceedings is filed in the D.C. Circuit appeal (25-5067), indicating ongoing litigation. Boasberg has not dismissed the case or dissolved his contempt probe, despite the administration’s requests post the Supreme Court ruling. The case awaits the administration’s May 14 submission and further rulings on jurisdiction and contempt. |
Thank you. I can’t stop thinking about the idea of being stuck in that prison with no way to prove my way out. |
Prove what? He is a citizen of El Salvador and came here illegally. Those are facts, nothing to "prove" there. |
Even the owner of this site gets the details wrong. Show me where in the Supreme Court opinion they said Trump had to facilitate this guy's return to the US? |
The Supreme Court decision regarding Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was issued on April 10, 2025, in the case *Department of Homeland Security v. Abrego Garcia* The Supreme Court's order was an unsigned per curiam opinion, and the primary operative language is as follows: "The application for a stay presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is granted in part and denied in part. The order of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland entered April 4, 2025, as modified April 10, 2025, is stayed insofar as it sets a deadline of April 7, 2025, at 11:59 p.m., for the Government to effectuate respondent Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s return to the United States. That deadline having passed, the stay of that deadline is of no further effect. The district court order properly requires the Government to 'facilitate' Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador. The intended scope of the term 'effectuate' in the district court’s order is, however, unclear, and may exceed the district court’s authority. The district court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs. The Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps. The application is otherwise denied." The official Supreme Court document is available on the Supreme Court’s website under the "Opinions Relating to Orders" section for the 2024 Term. The direct link to the PDF of the order is: https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/041025zr2_7l48.pdf This document is hosted on the official Supreme Court website (www.supremecourt.gov) and contains the full text of the order, including the per curiam opinion and Justice Sotomayor’s concurring statement. |
This is the current status of the Abrego Garcia case. Looks like it’s still with Judge Xinis.
- The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a ruling on April 16, 2025, upheld Judge Xinis’s order, rejecting the government’s appeal and emphasizing that Abrego Garcia’s due process rights must be respected, regardless of allegations against him. - The district court is continuing to monitor compliance through discovery and depositions. Judge Xinis’s orders suggest she may impose further sanctions or remedies if the government fails to act. - The Trump administration could appeal further to the Supreme Court or continue to argue that facilitating Abrego Garcia’s return is beyond its authority, potentially escalating the legal standoff. - No specific timeline for Abrego Garcia’s release or return has been established, and his detention in El Salvador persists. |
Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be returned to the United States to face criminal charges, law enforcement source says

This aged poorly. |
You realize he’s not coming back to stay right? El Salvador is sending back their citizen to face charges, then he will be deported. |
At least he’ll get his day in court. |

Wow quite embarrassing for Trump and MAGA after insisting over and over that he’d never come back to the US. |
