Kilmar Abrego Garcia says he was beaten and subjected to psychological torture in El Salvador jail
Kilmar Abrego Garcia says he suffered severe beatings, severe sleep deprivation and psychological torture in the notorious El Salvador prison the Trump administration deported him to in March, according to court documents filed Wednesday.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia said he suffered severe beatings, severe sleep deprivation and psychological torture in the notorious El Salvador prison the Trump administration had deported him to in March, according to court documents filed Wednesday.
He said he was kicked and hit so often after arrival that by the following day, he had visible bruises and lumps all over his body. He said he and 20 others were forced to kneel all night long and guards hit anyone who fell.
I feel so bad for this man, because even if he's acquitted of all the charges, the insane right wingers will never let him have peace. They'll hound him and his family forever.
Heck, even if he is guilty and the jury determines as such, it's still not an excuse to torture him to death either.
Too many Americans seriously believe failure to carry state documentation makes you legally a non-person. And being undocumented while brown flags you as part of an invading army.
He's no better than an Arab, a Russian, or one of the dreaded Chinese and deserves to die in misery as an example to others
It's a torture camp, explicitly known for being a torture camp, and used by Trump's administration for that purpose.
"Coming to the US? We might pay El Salvador to torture you."
Remember when Trump swore he was a member of "MS13" and our "news media" helped him out by publishing obviously photoshopped pictures of his hands with "MS13" tattooed on his knuckles?
Let's get some follow-up pictures of his hands and see if that tattoo is still there.
This is exactly why they didn’t want him to return, and charged him the minute he landed. This story will be testimony for the cruel and unusual punishment that the US has subjected 275+ migrants to with the deportations to CECOT. We just need them to get it in front of SCOTUS.
I also can’t imagine this will bode well for Bukele, given that El Salvador is a member of the ICC, and these actions are very clearly forbidden by the Rome Statute.
We just need them to get it in front of SCOTUS.
What do you think that would accomplish? Case gets to SCOTUS, SCOTUS rules the administration was 100% correct, they are all terrorists, and anyone who defended them is also able to be denaturalized and deported to CECOT.
We just need them to get it in front of SCOTUS.
...you're joking, right? It's clear whose side they're on and it isn't the side of "I'm worried what history books will say about me." There's only three sane justices out of nine.
Ten bucks nothing happens.
No thanks. I don't need to waste my money.
