Teran, who was among hundreds of Venezuelans deported under claims of gang affiliation, endured four months of violence, abuse, and inhumane conditions in custody. After being transferred back to Venezuela, he described CECOT as 'Hell on earth,' reflecting the dire treatment he and others experienced inside the prison. Most of the detainees claimed no evidence of their alleged gang connections and had minimal contact with the outside world during their detention.
