Kilmar Ábrego García detained after reporting to US immigration agents

Maryland man, back in US after being wrongly deported to El Salvador, is threatened with deportation to Uganda

Kilmar Ábrego García – who has been thrust into the middle of an acrimonious deportation saga by the second Trump administration – has been detained after reporting to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents in Baltimore on Monday, just three days after his release from criminal custody in Tennesee.

“The only reason he was taken into detention was to punish him,” Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, an attorney representing Ábrego, told a crowd of supporters outside a Baltimore Ice field office on Monday. “To punish him for exercising his constitutional rights.”
