Gregory Sanabria Tarazona, a Venezuelan activist who faced torture under the regime of Nicolás Maduro, has been detained by U.S. immigration authorities as he seeks asylum. He fears deportation to El Salvador, where he might be coerced into returning to Venezuela, where his safety is at risk. His case is supported by human rights advocates who highlight the serious dangers he would face if returned. Lawyers and family members are seeking protective measures from international human rights organizations.
There's every reason to fear that Gregory Sanabria would be abused if he is returned to Venezuela. His case has the hallmarks of a textbook refugee claim, and the United States should protect him.
A Venezuelan lawyer who fears the threat of removal to El Salvador is aimed at generating anguish to force him to sign a self-deportation order back to Venezuela.
