Lawyers for Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, 29, maintain he is not affiliated with MS-13 or any other street gang and argue the U.S. government «has never produced an iota of evidence» that he does. Abrego Garcia was arrested in Baltimore on March 12 after working a shift as a sheet metal apprentice in Baltimore and picking up his 5-year-old son, who has autism and other disabilities, from his grandmother's house, his lawyers' complaint stated. Abrego Garcia was then sent to the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, which activists say is rife with abuses and where inmates are packed into cells and never allowed outside. Abrego Garcia's wife later saw him in photos and video from the prison, identifying her husband through his distinctive tattoos and two scars on his head. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials admitted in a court filing on Monday to an «administrative error» in deporting him. The government's acknowledgment sparked immediate uproar from immigration advocates while prompting Vice President JD Vance and other administration officials to repeat the allegation that he's a gang member.
