DOJ Asks Court to Lift Injunction on Deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia

Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys petitioned the U.S. District Court in Maryland on Nov. 7 to lift its injunction prohibiting Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s deportation to Liberia.

Abrego Garcia was born in El Salvador, illegally immigrated to Maryland as a teenager around 2011, and was then deported to his home country in March, only to be returned to the United States in June due to an “administrative error,” but still to face deportation orders and further charges related to alleged human smuggling.
