Kilmar Armando Ábrego García, a father of three children from Maryland who, according to the US government of Donald Trump, was unfairly deported to El Salvador, has not yet been able to contact his wife, children or loved ones, his wife Jennifer Stefania Vásquez said during a news conference on Friday (4).
“‘If you are strong, I will be strong’ were your last words while he was handcuffed, hoping I would take Kilmar Junior, our five -year -old son, who was in the car when Ice kidnapped him,” said Vásquez Sura. Garcia had just taken her son after work when she was arrested in front of the autistic boy.
“In the blink of an eye, our three children lost their father, and I lost the love of my life,” said Vásquez Sura.
The Monday that improperly deported García, who lived in Maryland14 years ago, to El Salvador “due to an administrative error” and argued that he could not return it because he is now in salvage custody.
“Ice called this an administrative error, but let’s be clear: destroying a family is not administrative,” said Lydia Walther-Rodriguez, head of organization and leadership of the base organization, during a press conference before a rally in support of García.
“There is nothing accidental to violate a clear court order,” said Walther-Rodriguez. “There is nothing simple to make someone disappear in a dishonorable saved prison, all paid by the Trump administration,” he adds.
García, a saved citizen, forbidding the federal government from sending it to El Salvador.
Prior to his deportation, he was arrested for the Immigration and Customs Service (ICE) in mid-March “due to his prominent role in MS-13”, according to a judicial statement by a high ICE employee. His lawyers claim that he is neither a member nor has
Lucía Curiel, the lawyer who represented García in 2019, said she was the one who informed him at the time that a judge had acquitted him “of the reckless and false accusations of gangs and had granted him a suspension of deportation.”
“I told him that it meant that he could live legally in the United States and that the government was forbidden to deport him to El Salvador,” said Curiel. “I had never seen him smile so much at that moment; the news I told him was true at that time, and it’s true now.”
“The government sent him there knowing that he was forbidden to do so,” he added. “They consider this a mistake and refuse to raise a finger to bring it back. This cannot continue.” The lawsuit seems to mark the first time the government has admitted irregularities related to its recent deportation flights to El Salvador, who are now at the center of a tense legal battle.
Vásquez Sura, who cried during the press conference, said his 10 -year -old daughter tried to send a text message to his father on his tablet, expressing his desire to change places.
García, a metallurgist, was a member of the International Association of Metallurgical, Air, Rail and Transportation Union (Smart).
“We all have to imagine if this happened to us, with a family member, with a friend, if we were detained, illegally deported and could not contact our loved ones,” said Smart CEO Michael Coleman during the press conference. “Deported without any similarity to due process of law, a pillar on which this country was founded.”
García came to this country when she was a teenager, said Coleman, and has no criminal record. “It’s not enough to admit that you have made a mistake. You have to correct it,” Coleman said.
Krystal Oriadha, vice president of the Prince George County Council, spoke at the press conference and called Garcia’s deportation for the administration of “Intentional.”
“We know that you are kidnapped people from this country intentionally, separating fathers, mothers, children and families, and we are here to tell you, united as a advice, that we will not tolerate it,” said Oriadha.
“If we remain silent and allow them to do this, the country we love will no longer exist,” he said.
“We are a nation of laws,” added Eric Olson, a member of the Prince George County Council. “This administration disrespects these laws.”
The Trump government has argued that it cannot repay García because it is in salvage custody and has rejected concerns that he probably
“At night, when I can sleep a few hours, according to the same nightmare. Confused in an empty and destroyed homeless home, the nightmare became my reality,” said Vásquez Sura. “Fight for Kilmer and fight for all immigrant families, lighting a candle to the extensive families who disappeared because of the government.”
