Publisher's Synopsis
What if one clerical error could uproot your entire life-ripping you from your family, your home, and the country you've called safe for over a decade?
This is the harrowing true story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a young father, husband, and hard-working Maryland resident who, despite having legal protection, was mistakenly deported to El Salvador-one of the very places he had fled in fear for his life. The Story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's Deportation: A Life Torn Apart is not just an immigration case-it's a deeply human tale of love, injustice, survival, and the fight for dignity in a system too quick to forget the individuals behind its decisions.
Through gripping narrative and detailed investigation, this book follows Kilmar's life from his teenage escape from gang violence to building a future in the U.S.-only to be swept into a whirlwind of political decisions, mistaken identity, and administrative failure. It exposes how fragile legal protections can be when policy collides with prejudice, and how a single government misstep can unravel an entire family's reality.
But Kilmar's story also shines a light on resistance-the kind born out of courtroom battles, public outcry, and unwavering hope. It's about the community that fought back, the lawyers who refused to give up, and a family that held on through the darkest nights.
This book is for anyone who believes that justice should not depend on headlines, that systems must be held accountable, and that every human story deserves to be told-and heard.
