Migrants sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison faced beatings, shaved heads, no drinkable water, no hygiene, and daily abuse - including sexual assault in “blind spots" not covered by cameras.
No charges. No due process. No trials. No justice.
Tell these stories! US media won't!

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man.
Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies.
Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.

This man was reunited with his family after being released from CECOT in a prisoner exchange.
A few men that where released needed wheelchairs. There are reports that these men where beaten daily.
This man had NO criminal record. Most of them don’t.

Last night we got another midnight special from House Republicans. A rescissions package that slashes public broadcasting, even though millions rely on it for life-saving emergency alerts. They also voted to cut foreign assistance, which helps keep us safe.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.
