#DemocracyNow: “Detained Without Evidence”: Maryland Father Remains in #ElSalvador Prison After #SCOTUS Ruling
Story April 08, 2025
"The Supreme Court has paused a lower court order that instructed the Trump administration to immediately bring back a U.S. #LegalResident who was 'mistakenly' sent to #ElSalvador, giving the court more time to deliberate on the case. #KilmarAbregoGarcia, who was expelled from the U.S. on March 15 despite holding protected status, will continue to languish under dangerous conditions in a Salvadoran maximum-security prison. The Trump administration claims it’s powerless to bring him back to his family in Maryland.
"'They have dug in their heels at every step of the way,' says Abrego Garcia’s lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, about the government’s defense. 'It’s ridiculous that this case is at the Supreme Court at all.'
"Behind Abrego Garcia’s ICE arrest and removal is Trump’s invocation of the #1798AlienEnemiesAct, a wartime authority last deployed during #WorldWarII. In a separate ruling, the Supreme Court has approved of the Trump administration’s removals of #Venezuelan #immigrants, but said that those targeted must be given an opportunity to challenge their removal. So far, immigrants expelled to El Salvador have been largely denied their legal rights and detained without clear evidence.
"They are then incarcerated in the country’s '#MegaPrisons,' where [#HumanRights] abuses have flourished under El Salvador’s 'state of exception.' 'These conditions constitute, under international law, #ForcedDisappearances,' says Noah Bullock, executive director of Cristosal, a human rights organization in @CentralAmerica."

Erik Prince: How El Salvador Became a Model for Law and Order under #PresidentBukele.
August 28, 2024
A New Model of Security
"Prince highlighted the critical role of the government’s new #HighSecurity #prison, capable of holding 40,000 gang members. The facility’s stringent security measures, including full-body x-rays, extreme isolation protocols, and the removal of gang hierarchies, have broken the gangs’ control over the population. According to Prince, this prison has become a symbol of Bukele’s no-tolerance approach to crime."
