A man who was mistakenly deported from the state of Maryland to a mega-jail in El Salvador is "alive and secure", a US official has told a judge.
The update on Kilmar Ábrego García's condition came days after the US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration should facilitate his release and return to the US.
"It is my understanding, based on official reporting from our embassy in San Salvador, that Ábrego García is being held in the Terrorism Confinement Centre in El Salvador," State Department official Michael Kozak said.
President Donald Trump is due to sit down on Monday with his counterpart from El Salvador, where he has sent more than 200 migrants who he alleges are gang members.
