The wrongfully deported dad at the center of a protracted battle with the Trump administration says he was tortured in El Salvador’s notorious megaprison.
In March, the Trump administration deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia—which the Department of Justice acknowledged it had done in error—to the Center for Terrorism Confinement, or CECOT, where he says he was kicked and beaten as soon as he got off the plane, leaving his body covered in bruises and lumps, according to court filings.
The Department of Homeland Security had accused Abrego Garcia of being an MS-13 gang member. Abrego Garcia’s family and attorneys have denied the claims.
