YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOver 130 Venezuelan immigrants from the United States have been “unlawfully” sent to and incarcerated in El Salvador, according to legal experts. The Trump administration has justified the disappearance of the men by alleging that they are all members of a Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, in some cases merely because they have tattoos.
CECOT, the prison in El Salvador that the Venezuelan nationals were sent to, is infamous for torture and other human rights abuses, while Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele's authoritarian rule has been marked by a long-running suspension of due process rights.
Hear from a lawyer representing one of the disappeared men and a researcher who is tracking human rights abuses at El Salvador’s “mega-prisons.”
