POLICY WIRE — Washington, United States — Kilmar Ábrego Garcia is set to return to federal court this Tuesday as the government continues its effort to deport him to Liberia, marking the next phase of an 18-month legal struggle that began when he was mistakenly sent to El Salvador last year.

The U.S. government seeks to overturn a preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, which has prevented ICE from detaining and deporting Ábrego Garcia to Liberia. His legal team is pushing for the injunction to become permanent, following previous court orders that led to his release from custody in December.

The case has drawn national attention after Ábrego Garcia was wrongly deported to El Salvador earlier this year. Since returning, he has fought against being sent to Liberia, a country where he has no ties. His advocates argue he should be returned to Costa Rica, which previously agreed to accept him, but officials have maintained the focus on Liberia despite a recent agreement with Costa Rica to take in undocumented immigrants.
