Excellent appearance of Prison El Salvador where Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been moved after SuperMax site star-news.press/wp

Santa Ana, El Salvador – Dear Stanstation requested that Kilmar Abrego Garcia offers a sharp contrast of the SuperMax Mega-prison on which was first deported.

Instead of a tattooed gang members in brightly lit, crowded cells, prisoners in the center of Industrial prison in Santa Ani carry yellow shirts and move more or less freely. Some spend a large part of their time in the open lifting of milk cows and growing vegetables. Others work in factories by making uniforms for armed forces or public school tables.

The government is called these “reliable prisoners”: they have exhibited good behavior and in the final years are punished. And the prison categorically excludes someone accused of belonging to gangs.

“We only live a common population,” Samuel Diaz, director and prison manager said. “There are no gang members here.”

The NBC news gained access Monday to Centro Industrial in Santa Ana in a carefully choreographed tour. Officials did not provide ABREGA GARCIA access, and would not answer questions about his location, the conditions of his detention or any other aspects of his case. But they facilitated interviews with other prisoners, which in prison described as “perfect” and “great”.

The Trump Management ordered the Supreme Court to “Facilitate” Return of the Abrego Garcia, recognized the Ministry of Justice in prison in its homeland of the 2019 Immigration Judge.

For Human Rights Proponents in El Salvador and the United States, the Center of the Abrega Garcia, SuperMax Prison specifically designed for members of the gang, in contradiction to the central requirements of both governments: that ABREGO GARCIA is a dangerous member of MS-13 and terrorism. (His wife and lawyer deny these allegations.)

Precise where the state of Abrego Garcia remain unknown. From his deportation, Abrego Garcia is not allowed any contact with family or lawyers. At the meeting with the Democratic Senate Chris Van Hollen 17. April (the only time he was seen from his deportation), Abrego Garcia said he was transferred from Cecot to another object. Documents submitted in the Federal Court by the US Department of Justice, after that, after that, he confirmed that the facility was in Santa Ani Centro Industrial in Santa Ani. There was no update since then.

From that perspective, the Transfer Carcia from Checot is worrying, said Gabriela Santos, director of the Institute of Human Rights at the Central American University in San Salvador.

“Why moved?” Santos said. “And where are all the other migrants that were brought here – are they in Cecot or put in different prisons in El Salvador?”

Santos said that there is no visible legal basis for Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele with Trump for Receiving and Closing from the United States.

“From a legal point of view, there is no reason for (Abrego Garcia) here,” Santos said. And because the bouquel consolidated power over all branches of government, she added, there is no sustainable avenue for policy challenging.

“There are no rule of law in El Salvador here. There is no respect for the principle of legality,” she said.

Like the Abump Garcia and other Trump administration was deported directly to Cecot, all prisoners in the Prison Salvadoran are cut off from contact with lawyers, loved ones and others from outside. This policy is the result of the “state of the exemption” that the bouques declared 2022. After a particularly brutal wave of a gang of violence, in which many constitutional protection was suspended to close tens of thousands quickly.

About 85,000 people were closed in an exemption, according to Salvadoring Human Rights Groups. Many were exposed to mass trials for a hundred or more accused without access to the defense counsel. Proponents documented numerous stories about people without proven belonging to gangs that were closed unlimited with almost no resort to appeal.

Moreover, groups of rights in El Salvador and abroad criticized prison conditions in the country, citing systematic torture, malnutrition and other abuses. Legal NGO Socorro Jurídico Humanitario documented 370 deaths in Salvadoran prisons, because the state of exception was declared, the number group says is probably likely to be probably.

“We lost all human rights and constitutional guarantees in El Salvador,” Ingrid Escobar, a lawyer for the organization.

Bouques have acknowledged If some innocent people were arrested under the exception.

“Obviously our operations are not perfect, and without intent to make someone innocent, some innocence are arrested, in the same way in France, Germany, Japan and every country in the world,” Bouquel in November. “And we release them,” we released 8,000 people, and we will render 100% innocent. “

Boukele Administration says that the keeping of the prisoners was a necessary measure for breaking the control that gangs over prisons of El Salvadodor, involved organize murders, from within and other criminal activities from internal prisons.

Since the exception, public safety dramatically improved in El Salvador. Numerous people talked to the streets of Salvador said they are moving freely in town now and move for their job without fear of harassment, extorting or violence from gangs. These improvements made bouques one of the most popular heads of states in the world.

But the advocates of human rights say that improvements have come to severe costs for salvadoran democracy – and that the popularity of bouques is not an excuse for authoritarianism.

“Popularity can’t be an empty check to do whatever he wants,” Santos said. “History taught us that just because someone is popular, it doesn’t mean it works right.”
