GREENBELT, Md. (AP) A federal judge in Maryland is expected to question the Trump administration Tuesday about its continued refusal to retrieve Kilmar Abrego Garcia from an El Salvador prison, even after the Supreme Court ordered his return to the U.S.
The 4 p.m. hearing in a U.S. District Court comes a day after White House advisers repeated the claim that they lack the authority to bring back the Salvadoran national from his native country. The president of El Salvador also said Monday that he would not return Abrego Garcia, likening it to smuggling a terrorist into the United States.
Abrego Garcias wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, said shortly before Tuesdays hearing that he is a metal worker and union member who was working hard to achieve the American dream for his family.
That dream was shattered on March 12th when he was abducted and disappeared by the United States government in front of our 5-year-old-child, she said. Today is 34 days after his disappearance I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive.
