BALTIMORE — Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who reunited with his family last week after 160 days apart following his mistaken deportation to El Salvador, was taken into ICE custody on Monday after an immigration check-in, his attorney said.
The check-in with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Baltimore was part of the conditions of his release Friday from federal custody.

He said that lawyers asked ICE officers why Abrego was taken into custody and that the officers would not answer.
The ICE officers would also not give information about where Abrego is going, Sandoval-Moshenberg said.
Abrego spoke at a news conference before heading into his ICE appointment on Monday morning, surrounded by family, supporters, faith leaders and his legal team, who were all calling for his freedom.
Before Monday morning's appointment, Sandoval-Moshenberg said his client would not be taking the plea deal as Abrego "will not accept charges of which he's not guilty." »
