He (Kilmar Abrego Garcia) is not a citizen, nor did he enter the US legally. He entered the US illegally as a teenager but was granted temporary protected status because of a credible fear of gang violence if he returned home[1]. A US citizen cannot legally be deported[2] unless they are first denaturalized (which is extremely rare and has not occurred under Trump).
