Powerful Accounts: The Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration and held at a prison in El Salvador said they were physically abused and mistreated during their incarceration.

Struggling With Freedom: In the first days of freedom, some of the Venezuelan men are still trying to understand why they were singled out for deportation and how they’ll move forward.

Broad Claims, Exaggerations: Trump and administration officials have made numerous claims about the men deported to El Salvador, many of which have failed to withstand scrutiny.

I'm sitting here trying to find words. Outrage, disgust and deep sorrow just don't seem to cut it. More than anything, these men deserve justice and reparation for what was done to them - and the countless others who are enduring the same treatment this very day. I pray that the criminals in our government are held accountable for this grave sin one day.
