The ongoing case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, after a Democratic senator visits the US man mistakenly deported to El Salvador.

The Supreme Court has told the US President to no longer deport people under the Alien Enemies Act.

The President has also taken aim at the Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell for not lowering interest rates.  

Protestors hold signs as they march towards the White House during a Free Kilmar Abrego and an Anti-Trump protest, in Washington, DC, April 19, 2025. Abrego Garcia was detained in Maryland last month and expelled to El Salvador along with 238 Venezuelans and 22 fellow Salvadorans who were deported shortly after President Donald Trump invoked a rarely-used wartime authority. 
Trump administration officials have claimed he is an illegal migrant, a gang member and involved in human trafficking, without providing evidence. 
A federal judge has since ordered he be returned, later backed up by the Supreme Court.
But the administration -- despite admitting an "administrative error" in his deportation -- contends he is now solely in Salvadoran custody. (Photo by Richard PIERRIN / AFP)
