The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who immigration officials said was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador, is pleading with the Trump administration to "stop playing political games" and bring her husband home.

The Kilmar Abrego Garcia case has put Maryland in the national spotlight and tests the power of all three branches of federal government.

A Maryland man’s efforts to return to the US after being mistakenly deported to El Salvador last month hit a major new roadblock on Monday when the country’s president vowed to keep the father of three locked in a notorious mega-prison.
