Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Salvadoran man in immigration custody, to seek asylum in U.S., lawyer says
A lawyer for Kilmar Abrego Garcia said he has asked a judge to reopen his immigration proceedings and is seeking asylum in the United States.
Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran native, was deported in March to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison -- despite a 2019 court order barring his deportation to that country due to fear of persecution -- after the Trump administration claimed he was a member of the criminal gang MS-13, which his family and attorneys deny.
