Kilmar Abrego Garcia: a name that's become near-synonymous with the Trump Administration's immigration crackdown.

Abrego Garcia was arrested by ICE agents on March 12th, as he was leaving his job in Baltimore. In the days and months that followed, the fate of the 29-year-old father of three was in the hands of the Trump administration and El Salvador's President.

At the time of his arrest the administration alleged he was an active member of the Salvadoran gang MS-13.

His family and his legal team deny this. He was deported to a supermax prison in El Salvador despite a protective order that he should remain in the U.S.

But then – less than a month after his arrest, a federal judge and then the Supreme Court ruled the government should facilitate Abrego Garcia's return to the U.S.

Now nearly three months after Abrego Garcia was sent to a prison in another country... he's back on US soil.
