While the Trump administration has admitted it mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, it maintains he’s a gang member. But his American wife Jennifer told us he is an “amazing father” and “not a criminal.” He’s now at one of the world’s most notorious prisons.

ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said. He spent several hours in an ICE processing center before officers checked his wallet and realized he is a U.S. citizen.

ICE arrested US-born citizen Julio Noriega. He spent most of the night in immigration detention.

But Noriega was lucky – he carried his Social Security card on him. If he didn’t, he could have been there much longer.
