Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran-born Maryland resident, was the subject of recently released 2022 Tennessee body‑camera footage showing a traffic stop in which troopers suggested he might be transporting people for money. (apnews.com) He was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March 2025 and held at the notorious CECOT prison before being returned to the United States in June to face federal human‑smuggling charges, which he denies.
