Rights groups sue to free Venezuelans deported from the US and held in El Salvador

  • In March 2025, over 200 Venezuelan nationals suspected of gang affiliations were sent from the United States to El Salvador, where they have been confined in a maximum-security prison.
  • The deportations followed a hard-line U.S. immigration policy and involved payments to El Salvador to detain the Venezuelans, amid a state of emergency there.
  • The Venezuelans, some linked to the Tren de Aragua gang, have had no access to lawyers or family communication, while neither government has explained how they might regain freedom.
  • International human rights organizations submitted an urgent petition to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, urging the release of 18 Venezuelan men held in El Salvador, some of whom have pending asylum or refugee status in the United States.
  • The lawsuit highlights alleged unlawful enforced disappearances and calls for precautionary measures, while El Salvador's President Bukele defends detention capacity and dismisses critics.
