Back in 2019, an immigration judge signed an order denying Abrego Garcia's application for asylum, but granted an application for withholding of removal.
But earlier this year, the U.S. removed him to El Salvador.
Following legal wranglings, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Salvadoran man had "landed in the United States to face justice," noting that the U.S. "government presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant, and they agreed to return him to our country."

A grand jury returned an indictment against him earlier this year that included a count for "Conspiracy to Transport Aliens" and a count for "Unlawful transportation of undocumented aliens."
He pleaded not guilty.
