A man who was mistakenly deported from the state of Maryland to a mega-jail in El Salvador is "alive and secure", a US official has told a judge.

The update on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's whereabouts came days after the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration should facilitate his release and return to the US.

"It is my understanding, based on official reporting from our Embassy in San Salvador, that Abrego Garcia is being held in the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador," State Department official Michael Kozak said.

President Donald Trump is due to sit down on Monday with his counterpart from El Salvador, where he has sent more than 200 migrants alleging they are gang members.

Also, I want to see him walk off an airplane onto US soil

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Right there with you, my dear Hekate! I want all those things, and NOW. nt

6. Proof of life!

And I can't understand why he can't fly in with the President of El Salvador.

10. Then get him out of the Terrorism Confinement Center and get him to the embassy.

It's not fucking rocket science.

11. The makeup artist must be returned

that was also a mistake and his life is in danger - if he is still alive.

[Prairie Gates]

12. The General Administration of Camps reports that all camps are good

[orangecrush]

13. Sounds like bullshit

[slightlv]

14. Well, this statement is absolute proof to me the poor man is dead

and not likely to be brought home for a funeral and closure for his family and friends. If this administration comes out and says something as solid and adamantly as this, it's proof they're lying, AFAIC.

18. Where is he?!?

How do they know how to locate him? What was the intake process in CECOT? Did they actually record names, addresses, birth dates etc.? Were the kidnapped given #IDs?

[twodogsbarking]

15. Liars.

Liars.

[Wonder Why]

16. "Alive and secure" is not the same as "Healthy and safe". They're probably waiting for him to

recover from his wounds, regrow his hair and regain his weight so he doesn't look like the other deportees.

[Bengus81]

17. The "alive" story just buys them more time and keeps the heat off....for now

Let's see a shred of proof.
