Kilmar Ábrego García alleges torture and abuse in El Salvador prison

Kilmar Ábrego García, a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador despite having protection from deportation, allegedly suffered severe beatings and torture at the CECOT prison according to new court documents. The 29-year-old lost 30 pounds within two weeks of incarceration while being subjected to inhumane conditions including sleep deprivation and threats. Though the Trump administration initially refused to return him to the US, he was eventually extradited to Tennessee in June to face human trafficking charges, which he denies.
