A majority of the deaths documented by Human Rights Watch occurred less than a year after the deportees returned to El Salvador, and some within days.
At least 138 people deported to El Salvador from the U.S. in recent years were subsequently killed, Human Rights Watch says in a new report that comes as the Trump administration makes it harder for Central Americans to seek refuge in the United States.
Between 2014 and 2018, the U.S. deported about 111,000 Salvadorans back to their homeland, which has long been in the grip of fierce gang violence. Human Rights Watch confirmed the 138 deaths during that period through official records, interviews with families and media accounts but believes the actual toll is much higher, in part because some aren’t recorded due to the stigma of having been deported from the United States. The number of assaults is also low probably because of underreporting in the country of 6.5 million.
