The White House has said a wrongly deported father “will never live in the United States of America again”. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who was living in Maryland with his wife and five-year-old child, was deported by the Trump administration in March. He was accused of being a member of the MS-13 gang and is currently detained at Cecot prison in El Salvador. Garcia denies being in the banned MS-13 gang. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday (16 April) , White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “If he ever ends up back in the United States, he would immediately be deported again.”
