Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran immigrant who came to the U.S. as a teen, built a life in Maryland—until he became an unintended casualty of Trump’s aggressive immigration policies. His story highlights the human cost of deportation cases where legal errors or bureaucratic oversights uproot lives.

Editor’s Note: Garcia’s case isn’t just about one man—it’s a snapshot of how rigid enforcement can go wrong, splitting families and raising questions about fairness in the system. For readers, it’s a reminder that behind immigration headlines are real people caught in the crossfire.
