The Trump administration released more information Wednesday on the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran prison.

As criticism of that stance spread, and federal courts sided against the administration, Vice President J. D. Vance, the Trump adviser Stephen Miller, Bondi, and other top Cabinet officials went on the attack. The White House went from calling Abrego Garcia’s deportation a “clerical error” to insisting that no mistake had been made at all.
