One Year After CECOT Prison in El Salvador - Where Are We Now?

from The Raid · host John Carlos Frey

In March 2025, a year ago this month, the United States deported 238 Venezuelans to El Salvador, to be immediately and indefinitely imprisoned without trial and without convictions, prison sentences nor release dates. Human Rights Watch considered this practice a violation of national and international laws, and especially human rights violations. In this episode John Carlos Frey summarizes this flashpoint of the deportation agenda and how we have continued to violate the constitution since then.  https://theraidpodcast.org/  https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/03/15/trump-el-salvador-cecot-deportations/  https://www.nilc.org/resources/tracking-the-cecot-disappearances/  https://www.hrw.org/news/2026/03/16/us/el-salvador-deportees-forcibly-disappeared Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.      Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
