  "summary": "The US Department of Justice has appealed a court decision to dismiss criminal charges against Kilmar Ábrego García. A judge had previously ruled that the prosecution was \"vindictive in nature\". Ábrego García was wrongfully deported to El Salvador.\n\nThe Department of Justice claims that allegations of human smuggling against Ábrego García are genuine. According to The Guardian US, Ábrego García's attorneys say the Department of Justice's appeal is \"flat wrong\".\n\nÁbrego García's case drew attention as he became a symbol of the White House's mass deportation campaign. His deportation to El Salvador was in March 2025.",
