Human Rights Watch: El Salvador Detains 9,000 US-Deported Nationals Without Due Process

Human Rights Watch has revealed that since early 2025, about 9,000 Salvadoran nationals deported from the U.S. have been detained at El Salvador's CECOT prison without judicial oversight. This situation raises serious human rights concerns, including enforced disappearance and lack of contact with families. The international community should monitor how El Salvador addresses these allegations amid ongoing scrutiny of its detention policies.
