DOJ says whereabouts of Maryland immigrant wrongly deported to El Salvador are unknown

The Department of Justice on Friday said the whereabouts of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland-based Salvadoran immigrant wrongly deported to an El Salvador megaprison with hundreds of criminals and gang members last month, are unknown.

The admission comes after the Supreme Court upheld a lower federal court's decision Thursday to facilitate Garcia's return from the Central American prison. It also comes after U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered the DOJ to submit more information about Garcia following the SCOTUS ruling.
