A man named Kilmar Abrego Garcia is in big trouble. He was sent to El Salvador by mistake. This happened even though a court said he should not be sent there. Now, he is stuck in a tough prison in El Salvador. This prison is known for holding many gang members. The U. S. government is paying El Salvador to keep these people.

Garcia left El Salvador in 2011 to escape violence. The U. S. government says he is part of a dangerous gang called MS-13. But, they have not shown much proof of this in court. Garcia's lawyers say the U. S. government is not doing enough to bring him back. They say the government has not even asked El Salvador to release him.

The Supreme Court said the U. S. government must help bring Garcia back. But, the government says it cannot force El Salvador to let him go. This is a tricky situation. The U. S. is paying El Salvador to keep these people. So, some people think the U. S. should stop paying and bring Garcia back.

A hearing is happening soon. Garcia's lawyers hope this will push the government to follow the Supreme Court's order. They say the government just needs to follow the law. They have done this before for other people in similar situations. The lawyers are hopeful but also worried. They are concerned about the rule of law and due process.

The president of El Salvador says he cannot bring Garcia back. But, some people think the U. S. should use its influence to make this happen. The situation is complex. It involves international relations and the rule of law. It is a test of how the U. S. government handles mistakes in its immigration policies.
