William Camacaro: Immigration as a Political Weapon On March 15, the U.S. government, without due process, illegally and unconstitutionally transferred 253 Venezuelans to El Salvador’s notorious anti-terrorist prison, CECOT. These individuals were accused of belonging to the Tren de Aragua gang, yet no evidence was provided. Bloomberg notes that nearly 90% of those deported and imprisoned in El Salvador have no criminal records. The prisoners were subjected to humiliation and egregious human rights violations.

According to a report by the human rights organization Cristosal, the prisoners at CECOT do not receive enough water, food is very scarce, and they are only allowed one hour outside their cells. They are constantly beaten by their guards and have no access to phone calls, lawyers, or family visits. President Maduro strongly condemned the illegality and inhumane conditions of Venezuelan migrants arrested in the US and hired a law firm to defend his compatriots in El Salvador.
