Kilmar Abrego Garcia: 我是马里兰州的父亲，在特朗普政府打击非法移民的行动中成为了焦点，并且被错误地驱逐到了萨尔瓦多的一个臭名昭著的监狱。特朗普政府认为我是萨尔瓦多黑帮MS-13的活跃成员，但我的家人和律师否认这一点。现在我回到了美国，但我仍然不明白发生了什么。 Chris Van Hollen: 这个案件关系到Kilmar Abrego Garcia的宪法权利，如果特朗普政府可以践踏他的权利，他们就可以践踏任何居住在美国的人的权利。政府无权无故逮捕、驱逐和监禁他。 Simon Sandoval-Moschenberg: 作为Kilmar Abrego Garcia的律师，我认为我的客户感到非常惊讶和不解，他原以为2019年法官发布保护令并允许他从ICE的拘留中释放后，他的案件已经结束并胜诉了。现在他突然被带到萨尔瓦多，然后又突然与美国参议员会面，最后又被带回美国，这一切都让他感到不可思议。政府犯了一个简单的错误，但没有改正，而是采取了极端的手段，这表明这种情况可能发生在任何人身上。此外，当律师向法官撒谎，在宣誓后撒谎，政府官员在宣誓后撒谎时，他们需要为此负责。政府不遵守法院命令，导致一个人被关在外国监狱里，这些都需要追究责任。为了确保我的客户的案件得到妥善处理，他需要返回马里兰州。

Kilmar Abrego Garcia: a name that's become near-synonymous with the Trump Administration's immigration crackdown.Abrego Garcia was arrested by ICE agents on March 12th, as he was leaving his job in Baltimore. In the days and months that followed, the fate of the 29-year-old father of three was in the hands of the Trump administration and El Salvador's President. At the time of his arrest the administration alleged he was an active member of the Salvadoran gang MS-13. His family and his legal team deny this. He was deported to a supermax prison in El Salvador despite a protective order that he should remain in the U.S. But then – less than a month after his arrest, a federal judge and then the Supreme Court ruled the government should facilitate Abrego Garcia's return to the U.S. Now nearly three months after Abrego Garcia was sent to a prison in another country... he's back on US soil.
