El Salvador’s Mega-Prison: Migrant Deportations and Human Rights Concerns

Recent reports have shed light on the dire conditions faced by migrants in El Salvador's newly established mega-prison. According to Axios, many of these migrants, primarily from Venezuela, have been deported without any official record, raising significant human rights concerns. CBS News, through a 60 Minutes segment, documented the arrival of these Venezuelan migrants, highlighting the harsh realities they face upon deportation.

The New Republic and The Daily Beast have both criticized former President Donald Trump's policies, which they argue have contributed to the current situation. Trump's administration had initiated large-scale deportations to El Salvador, which some outlets have described as 'dystopian.' The lack of records for these deportees in the mega-prison further complicates their situation, as they are left without legal recourse or support.

These developments have sparked a broader conversation about immigration policies and human rights in the region. As the international community watches, the plight of these migrants continues to be a pressing issue, demanding attention and action to ensure their rights are protected.
