Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador by the U.S. government last month, is “alive and secure” at a notorious work prison there, the State Department insists — but his “future is up to” the Central American country, according to President Donald Trump.

The facility, known as the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT), has been described as a “black hole of human rights” and “steel pit” where terrorists, murderers and “psychopaths” are reportedly held, according to the BBC.

Trump said on Saturday night that it was ultimately up to President Nayib Bukele, of El Salvador, to decide what to do with “barbarians” like Abrego Garcia, who were deported under an 18th-century wartime authority last month and placed in CECOT custody — Abrego Garcia mistakenly, despite the fact that he had legal permission to live in the U.S. as a protected resident of Maryland, with his wife and child both being U.S. citizens.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., handed the Trump administration a win on Thursday by allowing the government to move forward with plans to fire vast number of federal employees.

In a 16-page memorandum opinion and order, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, a Barack Obama appointee, determined he likely lacked the jurisdiction to hear the complaints of five labor unions.

The court reasoned — without technically getting to the merits of the case — that the lead plaintiff, the National Treasury Employees Union, “fails to establish that it is likely to succeed on the merits.”

Instead, the judge said the plaintiffs had to seek “administrative review by the Federal Labor Relations Authority in the first instance, followed by judicial review in the courts of appeals.”
