  • The federal government and his family have presented divergent portraits of the man who has become the face of President Donald Trump's crackdown against immigration.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 27-year-old Salvadoran, has transformed his life from being involved in gang activities to becoming a community leader in El Salvador. After spending several years in prison for gang-related crimes, Kilmar decided to change his path upon release.
