First Thing: Venezuelans sent by Trump to El Salvador endured systematic torture, report finds

A recent report reveals that over 250 Venezuelans deported from the US to El Salvador under the Trump administration have endured systematic torture and abuse, including sexual assault, while detained in Cecot prison. Detainees reported constant beatings, sexual violence, lengthy periods of incommunicado detention, and inadequate food. The deportees were accused of being members of Tren de Aragua, yet only 3% had been convicted of a violent crime in the US. This situation highlights severe human rights violations and raises concerns about the treatment of deportees in El Salvador.
