BALTIMORE — Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who reunited with his family last week after 160 days apart following his mistaken deportation to El Salvador, was taken into ICE custody on Monday after an immigration check-in, his attorney said. The check-in with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Baltimore was part of the conditions of his release from federal custody on parole on Friday.

While such meetings are usually routine and are meant for case updates, Abrego's attorneys said they expected he would be taken into ICE custody during the check-in after the Trump administration announced over the weekend its intention to deport him to Uganda.

He said lawyers asked ICE officers why Abrego was taken into custody, and the officer would not answer. The ICE officers would also not give information as to where Abrego is going, Sandoval-Moshenberg said. "There was no need to take him into ICE detention. ... The only reason they took him into detention was to punish him," for using his constitutional right to speak up and fight proceedings, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, one of Abrego's attorneys, said Monday morning.

Sandoval-Moshenberg said on Friday that a notice said the 8 a.m. meeting on Monday would be for an interview. "Clearly that was false," he added. He said lawyers asked ICE officers why Abrego was taken into custody, and the officers would not answer. The ICE officers would also not give information as to where Abrego is going, Sandoval-Moshenberg said.
