The rights groups are increasingly concerned that the notorious prison of El Salvador Cecot is becoming a “black hole” so that the United States is released from expelled migrants or other unwanted persons without legal consequences.
An American senator who traveled to the Central American country on Wednesday, April 16 to try to recover a man deported and locked there was sent there to talk to him.
The man, Salvadoran Kilmar Abrego García, is one of the almost 300 migrants, mostly Venezuelans, the Donald Trump administration has sent El Salvador since January without any judicial hearing.
Once there, they were locked in the construction of the infinitely hard terrorism confinement center to accommodate the rounded gangsters in the anti-critical iron impulse of President Nayib Bukele.
The observers say that most migrants had not committed any crime, and many had enjoyed asylum status in the United States. None have been heard since they were sent to El Salvador, where they are now in the legal limbo.
Human Rights Watch, in a report last week, said El Salvador and the United States have submitted doses of people to “forced disappearances and arbitrary detention.”
In the CECOT, they are incommunicated heroes, not allowed only contact with lawyers.
“What they are trying to create here is a guantanamo with steroids … a black hole where there is no legal protection for people there,” said Juan Pappier, deputy director of HRW in the United States, to the AFP, which refers to the US prison for terrorist terrorist. It is synonym for torture and other abuses.
‘Illegally kidnapped’
The deportation of Abrego García in particular has caused a protest and triggered a legal crisis.
Trump’s officials have affirmed that it is an illegal migrant, a member of a gang and is involved in human trafficking. He has never condemned any crime and had granted a protected status that should prohibit deportation to El Salvador.

Discharge
A federal judge, backed by the Supreme Court, ordered the return of Abrego García, but the Trump administration argues that it is now only in saving custody.
Bukele, who has proudly adopted the nickname or “the best dictator in the world,” said he does not have the power to return to man.
With the hope of accumulating political pressure on the Trump administration, the Senator of Maryland, Chris Van Hollen, visited El Salvador on Wednesday to declare the case of Abrego García, who said he was illegally kidnapped from the United States.
Van Hollen with Vice President Felix Ulloa, who told all access to man.
“His answer was that the Trump administration is paying El Salvador, the Government of El Salvador, to keep it on CECOT,” said the senator about the response he received from Ulloa.
Washington and San Salvador have removed the criticisms of their collaboration, and Trump thanked Bukele on Monday for “helping us” with the mass deportation campaign of their administration.
El Salvador is receiving $ 6 million to accommodate migrants, and Bukele left Monday’s meeting with an agreement for his country to join the US Global Input Program. UU., Which allows the entry of accelerated visas.
“Bukele’s cooperation with President Trump’s agenda, including the disappearance of people abroad … and in prisons known for abuse, has no precedents, which violate the rights and extreme,” said Noah Bullock or Central American Rightsal, said Saintosal.
350 deaths in custody
AFP interviewed several relatives or Venezuelans in El Salvador, all of whom insisted that their loved ones were not criminals.
Alexis de Hernández, mother of Andry Hernández Romero, 31, said his son was rounded “just having tattoos”, a common complaint in this drama.
American officials have affirmed that brands indicate loyalty to the train from Venezuela, the Aragua gang, but experts point out that the group, unlike Salvadoran gangs, does not use tattoos for the identification of the clan.
According to Chrysal, almost half of the Cecot Detenise, has been able to track a state of asylum in the United States or was requesting asylum, “what Sim should protect the issue of deportation.”
Trump has encouraged Bukele to build more prisons and said Tuesday that he would “love” to begin to also send American citizens who commit violent crimes to CECOT.
The Washington -based Wola Defense Group warned in a comment published on Monday “that thousands of citizens are lingues in the abauoso penitentiary system of ET Salvador” and “at least 350 people have died in custody as a result of these conditions.”
“Corruption and lack of transparency (in El Salvador) must be or a bipartisan group” for the United States, he argued.
“The United States should not only monitor how your financial assistance is being used, but also examine whether you are inadvertently supporting a systematic government retains information and evades responsibility.”
