Sexual abuse, daily beatings, rotten food: Venezuela probes alleged torture of migrants in El Salvador

Last week, the US released 250 Venezuelan immigrants from the notorious El Salvador jail in exchange for 10 American prisoners who were held in Venezuela. The migrants were detained in jail since March as part of President Donald Trump’s swift deportation drive

Salvadoran police officers escort alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua recently deported by the US government to be imprisoned in the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) prison, as part of an agreement with the Salvadoran government, in Tecoluca, El Salvador. These deportations have led to a standoff between a US federal judge and Donald Trump. Reuters
