Men were branded as gangsters sent to CECOT, the torture prison in El Salvador.

On 7/19, 252 were released to Venezuela- the Salvadorans still there.
We won't forget the injustice to them and continue to speak out for all that ICE has disappeared in US
Pinned
Today's 9 mos. since the Salvadoran men were illegally sent to El S. Unlike the VZ men who shared the same, horrible detention, they are still there. We know of the brutal conditions.

We must advocate with congress, senate, faith communities and human rights orgs.

Imagine mustering the courage to come forward and testify to reporters about how you were tortured and humiliated, only to have the reporters' new boss be like, "Wait, let's hear from the torturers before we run this." It's really that bad.

The full truth about CECOT needs to be available for all, including those that have been willfully ignorant of this travesty and this administration investment in this.

This is unacceptable!

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.

This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

The DHS has this quote on their website, unchanged since 4/25.

"Jerce Reyes Barrios was in the United States illegally. He was a member of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang, and he was deported to El Salvador."

He is a professional soccer player and beloved coach. He fled VZ due to persecution.

As the top Democrat on the House Immigration Subcommittee, if Republicans refuse to conduct oversight of Trump’s illegal immigration actions, I will.

I’ve held shadow hearings both in DC and across America, hearing horrifying stories from dozens of people — and I won’t stop.
