Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers claim he endured brutal treatment—including beatings—while locked up in El Salvador's CECOT prison. The allegations were laid out in a legal filing this week, painting a grim picture of his detention.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another allegation—it’s a stark reminder of the human rights concerns swirling around El Salvador’s crackdown on gangs. If true, it raises serious questions about how far the government is willing to go in the name of security, and who gets caught in the crossfire. Stories like this put international scrutiny on whether tough-on-crime policies are crossing into outright abuse.
