4:12Now PlayingKilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident, spoke briefly in front of a crowd Monday before surrendering himself to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Baltimore, following a short period of freedom.
Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported to a mega-prison in El Salvador in March by the Trump administration and has spent the last several months separated from his family. He was brought back to the U.S. in June but then detained under human smuggling charges and spent time in jail in Tennessee until being released last week and allowed to return to his family in Maryland.
"To all the families who have been separated or to all the families who have been threatened with family separation, this administration has hit us hard, but I want to tell you guys something," said Abrego Garcia, speaking through a translator. "God is with us, and God will never leave us. God will bring justice to all of the injustice that we are suffering."
He now faces deportation to Uganda after declining to be deported to Costa Rica in exchange for pleading guilty to human smuggling charges.
