Salvadoran migrant and US resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia is at the center of a row over President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown

The US government has said it wishes to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran man at the center of a row over President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, to Liberia and possibly by month's end, a court filing showed Friday. 

The case of Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported to El Salvador in March and then sent back to the United States in June, has become a lightning rod for those opposed to Trump's efforts to carry out mass deportations across the United States.
