It isn’t.
You’re asking how something is the case that isn’t the case
The courts are saying it is not legal. Unfortunately, the administration doesn’t care.
None of it is legal. It’s part of an intimidation strategy.
They. Are. Eroding. Due. Process. In. Real. Time.
ICE said he was deported due to an administrative error.
He was deported without due process so our felonious President could look tough to his base who ask few questions but cheer cruelty.
Kilmer Abrego Garcia was sent to a death camp because he is not a wealthy white man.
We’ve allowed a fascist regime to seize power in the US without a fight, and they are now sending people to death camps in El Salvador.
The rule of law no longer applies in the USA, so prepare accordingly.
He’s guilty of nothing.
From what I know, he came here seeking asylum due to gang violence in El Salvador. He was given a court date – and had one – and was given a temporary legal status as he was working his way through the system. Entirely legal, standard procedure.
Trump’s team kidnapped him off the street.
They then shaved his head and loaded him onto a plane. While the plane was in the air, a federal judge ordered for the plane to be turned around.
It didn’t.
After he was put in the prison, multiple federal judges ordered that the Trump administration bring him home.
They didn’t.
After this, the Supreme Court, in a 9-0 decision, said that Garcia MUST be brought home.
They outright refused, stating in a later interview that Trump actually won the case 9-0 instead of losing it 9-0, even though that’s obviously and verifiably untrue.
The president of El Salvador said to Trump that he can’t bring him back. If you ask me, that’s because they killed him.
Other federal judges are preparing to hold Trump’s team in contempt of court, and the story is still developing.
You asked what legal conditions he was sent there.
None.
We are in the endgame. This is a constitutional crisis the likes of which this nation has never seen – because while the founding fathers were smart, they seemed to leave out one thing – and that’s the fact that the only person in the US with immediate hard power is the President, so as long as they act fast, a president can do basically as many illegal and deplorable actions as they want.
Garcia is guilty of nothing. “Guilty” implies he stood trial and was convicted of a crime. This is not the case.
He was technically an illegal immigrant who is an El Salvadorian citizen, but he claimed asylum, and an immigration judge ordered him not to be deported there because there was a credible worry about his life being in danger if he were so deported. The Trump administration has openly said that his deportation was an “administrative error” and the Supreme Court has ordered that he be returned to the United States. However, the Trump administration argues that he is an El Salvadorian citizen in El Salvador, so there is no jurisdiction for American courts to order anything be done with him.
>Could someone please explain to me how this is legal?
It’s currently legal on the basis of “no one is yet stopping them”.
Illegal immigrant. Known gang member. Wife beater
>What is Kilmar Abrego Garcia guilty of
Being brown.
>why was he deported to a high security prison?
Because the right lights to make examples out of brown people.
>Under what legal conditions was Kilmer Abrego Garcia sent to a high security prison for doing nothing?
No legal conditions.
It isn’t.
Which brings us to 2025.

I think one thing that’s people misunderstand is that – Kilmar wasn’t granted residency. He was to be deported. His final removal order was issued by a Judge. The only thing was – he wasn’t to be deported to El Salvador.
A witholding of removal doesn’t actually mean, can’t be removed. It just means can’t be removed to one particular country the witholding refers to.
Edit – Quoting from 241(b)(3) “Nothing in this section or §208.17 shall prevent the service from removing an alien to a third country other than the country to which removal has been withheld or deferred”
All that being the case, I’m not saying I agree with everything above thats happened. But I’m trying to describe the circumstances.

He isn’t guilty of anything: He was once arrested in a police raid alongside a group of Salvadorans, who were later alleged to have gang ties, some of whom may or may not have been dealing weed according to the pig report Bondi is supposedly quoting.
A later-disgraced pig then used an anonymous snitch’s supposed tip to try and frame them all for being MS-13 members, with ‘corroborative evidence’ osuch as ‘he was wearing a Chicago Bulls T-shirt.’ He wasn’t charged but there was an attempt to deport him based on those allegations in 2019. The burden of proof in immigration cases is Kafka tier bullshit, so despite the evidence being nonsense (he was alleged to be part of a NY clique despite having no known ties to NY, for a start) he was unable to prove that he was NOT a security threat, and on first instance there was a deportation order.
He appealed the removal. He was not granted asylum because he didn’t apply for it within a year of arrival, but a judge ruled that he could not be returned to El Salvador due to credible dangers, so he was granted withholding of removal – meaning, he can’t be deported back to El Salvador. He was also given a work permit, married someone and became a steelworker in Baltimore.
Trump later arranged an entirely criminal deal to disappear people into arbitrary arrest with no habeas corpus by the mechanism of Trump and Bukele both pretending they have no authority to release anybody. He had the misfortune of being rearrested in an ICE raid (even though he HAD legal status) and then the Admin rushed to fait accomply deport a bunch of people, including him, while they were trying to litigate against their disappearances into entirely lawless imprisonment in El Salvador’s gulag. They ignored due process so hard that Kilmar was deported with a standing order not to do so.
He is now held, without charge or trial, in indefinite arbitrary arrest in a third word hellhole prison where he’s being denied access to his lawyer, while Trump and Bukele obscenely pretend that neither of them have the authority to release him, because Kafka’s ‘The Trial’ is apparently a documentary.
This doesn’t directly answer your question, but Auschwitz was also not in Germany’s borders.
Here’s some background on the police encounter some have described in 2019.

More background on Kilmar, the following article is the most extensive.

He came to the US in 2011 when he was 16. He’s been here 14 years. He’s married to a US citizen and they have a child together, his wife has another 2 children from previous relationships. His older brother is now a US citizen.
Kilmar claimed in court in 2019 that him and his brother before him had fled to the US to avoid gang persecution, which was the basis of the ‘do not deport to El Salvador’ order.
In 2021, his wife sought a restraining order against him, but later dropped the case.
He checked in with ICE yearly and the DHS had issued him a work permit.
He was brown.
Excellent questions! I wonder what we’ll hear from the “TrUmP WaSn’T cOnVicTeD of rApE!” crowd.
He is guilty of being Latino
It’s very much not legal, but the administration just wants to see how much power they have compared to the other branches.
It isn’t.
Autocrats don’t give a hoot about legality. Further, they will try by any means necessary to bend “legality” to their will.
Republicans in congress are letting #🍊47 get away with it.
He was guilty of nothing, being granted resident legal residence by a federal judge. He had committed no crime and had no illegal associations. He was deported due to the incompetence, racism, hysteria, and evil of the current administration in order to frighten Americans into compliance with their fascist takeover of the country.
