Around 90% of the 238 mostly Venezuelan migrants the Trump administration has sent to overcrowded super-prisons in El Salvador have no charges against them. That is according to a new report from Bloomberg, who found evidence of only five individuals facing serious charges. The majority of the rest were either migratory charges (i.e. crossing the border illegally, misdemeanors or unconfirmed cases).
The Trump administration alleges that all those deported were members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang, but has provided little evidence.
Many individuals claim that they were picked up and sent to El Salvador based solely on how they dressed and whether they had visible tattoos. One claims that his autism awareness tattoo made him a target for ICE.
The news comes as increasing numbers of people are being arrested, detained and deported for opposing the US’ support for Israel’s genocide. Early indicators are that the second Trump administration intends to use ICE to crush opposition to its policies.
