The wife of the Maryland man who the US government mistakenly deported to El Salvador acknowledged that she had filed a civil protective order against him four years ago, but said it was out of an abundance of caution and that the couple had worked through their issues.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says the United States will not return a wrongly deported Maryland man as the state's senior senator traveled to El Salvador to meet with officials about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Judge Paula Xinis admonished the Trump administration for not having done enough to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from an El Salvador prison.

The case of the wrongly deported Maryland man has sparked perhaps the most consequential standoff so far between the judiciary and the White House.
