A coalition of human rights organizations has filed a lawsuit with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, seeking the release of 18 Venezuelan migrants deported from the U.S. and detained without trial in El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT). The legal action raises concerns about potential violations of international human rights law, including enforced disappearance and denial of due process. The deportations carried out in March under the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump targeted individuals alleged to have ties to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. However, human rights advocates argue many of the deportees had pending asylum applications

Tennessee state law enforcement released video showing a 2022 traffic stop involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia, one of the incidents the Trump administration officials have used to justify the removal of the Maryland man who the government has admitted was wrongly deported to El Salvador in March. US officials have argued the traffic stop in November 2022, in which Abrego Garcia was not detained or charged, supports their claims that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13 and involved in human trafficking. A redacted police report released to CNN by the highway patrol did not address suspicions of human trafficking. Abrego Garcia’s family and his lawyers deny those claims.
