El Salvador reviews rights violations of U.S. deported Venezuelans

El Salvador has agreed to house over 200 Venezuelan deportees from the United States in a maximum-security prison, despite a judge's order to block such expulsions. The Trump administration claims the deportees are gang members from the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, but this allegation is disputed by families and lacks substantial evidence. Human rights groups criticize the move, citing concerns over the harsh conditions and potential human rights violations in the overcrowded Salvadoran prison system. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, who has enthusiastically supported Trump's deportation plans, mocked the U.S. judge's order by posting about the deportees' arrival. The U.S. government is reportedly paying El Salvador $6 million to detain these individuals. The situation has prompted significant international criticism and concerns about the treatment and legal rights of deportees.
