Mainers demand the release of man mistakenly sent to El Salvador
- Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an undocumented migrant from Maryland, remains held in El Salvador following his removal from the United States in mid-March 2025.
- His deportation occurred due to administrative mistakes, despite a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court decision directing the Trump administration to ensure his return.
- Supporters in Maine protest, accusing the administration of disregarding human rights, while the government maintains Garcia's alleged MS-13 gang ties justify his removal.

- The case highlights ongoing legal and political disputes over deportation policies, with Garcia's return dependent on both U.S. Compliance and El Salvador's cooperation.
