Discarded Kilmar Abrego Garcia returns to the USA - legal dispute sparked!

Cecot, El Salvador - Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was illegally deported from the USA to El Salvador, is now being brought back. After a long legal tug of war, his case goes to the public. According to media reports from ABC News and CNN, Abrego Garcia is also faced with criminal proceedings in the United States due to its illegal activities. This is done in the context of a controversial legal dispute between the US government and its lawyers.

Abrego Garcia was part of a group of migrants who were deported from the United States about three months ago. After their return, they were brought to the "Cecot" (Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo) in El Salvador. The reporting on his return attracts attention and raises questions about the immigration policy of the USA, such as report

The background noise of deportation policy

Abrego Garcia's situation is not to be considered isolated. The Supreme Court has paved the way for mass deportations in the United States, which further increases the pressure on migrants. The then President Donald Trump was given permission to end the humanitarian right of residence for over half a million people. This regulation primarily concerned immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, who were able to enter the USA as part of a special program, such as Tagesschau

In another relevant case, the Supreme Court also agreed to the lifting of the temporary protection status of around 350,000 people from Venezuela, which means that almost a million people are potentially threatened with deportation. Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson criticized the decision and pointed out that the way of life was affected by half a million people before their legal claims were clarified. These ongoing legal disputes and political decisions directly influence the fate of many migrants that are in a precarious situation.

The conjectures about the future of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and other migrants are part of a tough course against migration that Trump announced in the 2024 election campaign. He strives for the greatest deportation campaign in the history of the United States, but legal hurdles could put a strain on him.
