The Trump administration orchestrated a rapid plan to deport Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio informing the Salvadoran government about sending 500 men. The initiative aimed to deter illegal migration and exert pressure on Venezuela. However, many of those deported had legally entered the U.S. and complied with immigration rules. Imprisoned in the CECOT megaprison without legal representation or family contact, the plan raises serious human rights issues, especially since some detainees had already been vetted for U.S. refugee resettlement.
The investigation highlights the urgent actions taken by the Trump administration to deport Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador, aiming to deter illegal immigration.
