Vice President JD Vance defended the deportation of a Maryland father to a high-security prison in El Salvador, despite the Trump administration admitting the removal was an "administrative error."

Kilmer Armado Abrego-Garcia, a 30-year-old Salvadoran man with a U.S. citizen wife and child, was deported on March 15 despite having a protected legal status that should have prevented his removal, The Atlantic reported. His lawyers argue that the government wrongly labeled him as an MS-13 gang member based on unverified claims from a 2019 informant, despite a judge ruling that he could face danger if deported.
