Washington — A lawyer for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the mistakenly deported man who was recently brought back from El Salvador to face charges in the U.S., said his case is bigger than one individual.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains in U.S. custody as his human smuggling case plays out. He was erroneously deported to El Salvador in March and, despite a court order to bring him back to the U.S., remained there until recently.

Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia are accusing President Donald Trump's administration of pretending for weeks to be powerless to return him to the United States from El Salvador.
