President Donald Trump on Tuesday acknowledged that he could secure the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador last month but refuses to do so.

BBC Verify looks at the evidence behind allegations that the Salvadoran mistakenly deported to a mega-prison was a dangerous gang member.

President Donald Trump said in an interview with ABC News on Tuesday that he "could" have Kilmar Abrego Garcia returned to the U.S. with one phone call, even though the administration has argued in court that the government has no ability to get him back.
