The U.S. State Department announced in an April 12 court filing that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is ‘alive and secure’ in an El Salvador prison — or ‘Terrorism Confinement Center’ — after the U.S. resident was mistakenly deported from Maryland in March.

The Trump administration confirmed to a federal judge Saturday that a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported last month remains confined in a notorious prison in El Salvador. But the government's filing did not address the judge's demands that the administration detail what steps it was taking to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States.
