Man Action Fighting ICE country shock Courts Bring him back now: Judge slams Donald Trump, gives U.S 72 hours ultimatum to return wrongfully deported Maryland man after shocking error

Judge gives U.S. 72 hours to bring back Maryland dad wrongfully deported to El Salvador — «Bring Kilmar home.» That’s the message written across signs held tightly by family, friends, and neighbors in Maryland. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a hardworking 29-year-old father and sheet metal worker, was wrongfully deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)—a move the government later admitted was due to an “administrative error.” ICE now says the deportation was a mistake. But for Kilmar, that “mistake” landed him in a high-security prison in El Salvador, a country he fled in 2011 to escape violent gangs. His family hasn’t stopped fighting for his return—and now, a federal judge is stepping in.

U.S. economy is heading into troubled waters. That’s the latest warning from J.P. Morgan, which on Friday forecasted a full-year contraction in gross domestic product for 2025 — the first major Wall Street institution to do so. “We now expect real GDP to contract under the weight of the tariffs, and for the full year (4Q/4Q) we now look for real GDP growth of -0.3 per cent, down from 1.3 per cent previously,” said Michael Feroli, the firm’s chief U.S. economist, in a note to clients, as reported by Bloomberg. Feroli anticipates a two-quarter recession in the second half of 2025, with GDP shrinking 1% in Q3 and 0.5% in Q4. The cause? A dramatic escalation in U.S. trade policy under President Trump.
