  • El Salvador informed a United Nations working group on July 8, 2025, that the United States retains control over more than 200 Venezuelan migrants deported to El Salvador's CECOT prison.
  • This revelation contradicts prior claims by the Trump administration and Salvadoran officials that the migrants were solely under Salvadoran jurisdiction after deportation.
