US EditionRights groups sue to free Venezuelans deported from the US and held in El Salvador
- On May 9, 2025, international human rights organizations filed a complaint before the regional human rights body, seeking the release of Venezuelan immigrants deported from the U.S. And detained in El Salvador.
- The lawsuit follows the U.S. Deporting over 200 Venezuelan immigrants in March 2025 and paying El Salvador to imprison them amid the country's three-year state of emergency.
- The deported Venezuelans face detention in a maximum-security prison with no access to lawyers or family contact, and many had pending asylum or protected status in the U.S.
- Bella Mosselmans, who leads the Global Strategic Litigation Council, stated that these men are victims of government-led enforced disappearances that violate legal standards.
- The lawsuit requests precautionary measures for release, but neither U.S. Nor Salvadoran governments outlined how detainees might regain freedom amid widespread arrests and security policies under Bukele.
