Good morning.

More than 250 Venezuelans deported from the US to El Salvador by the Trump administration have suffered systemic and prolonged torture and abuse including sexual assault in detention, according to a new report.

What rights violations do they report? Being subjected to constant beatings", as well as other forms of ill treatment, including some cases of sexual violence, according to the report. They also report lengthy incommunicado detention and being provided with inadequate food.

What do we know about who the detainees are? Despite the administration accusing the deportees of being members of Tren de Aragua, an organized crime gang, the report found that just 3% had been convicted in the US of a violent crime.

How many more sites are planned? About 3,500 new sites are proposed or under development, placing the health of a further 135 million people at risk.
