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

Today it's 8 mo. since the Venezuelan & Salvadoran men were illegally sent to CECOT, known to be a torture prison. Thankfully, the Venezuelan men were released, though justice is needed for them. The Salv. men, 36 or more (w the exception of KAG) still there.

Just like the lack of outrage over Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held in solitary for months.
