Kilmar Abrego Garcia , 29 , was sent to a notorious El Salvador prison last month .

A federal judge ordered the government to arrange for his return to the United States .

The judge also questioned why the U.S. can’t get him back.

The White House has cast the deported man as an MS-13 gang member.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia had a permit from the Department of Homeland Security to work in the U.S. , his attorney says.

He fled El Salvador around 2011 because he and his family were facing threats by local gangs.

He was released and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement did not appeal the decision or try to deport him to another country.
