SAN SALVADOR - More than 130 Salvadorans have been killed after being deported from the United States since 2013, U.S.-based Human Rights Watch said on Wednesday, as it stressed the danger migrants face under the Trump administration’s hardening immigration policy.
HRW also found more than 70 cases of deported Salvadorans who suffered sexual violence, torture or other harm, or who disappeared. The report placed blame on Salvadoran gangs for targeting deportees and the Salvadoran government for failing to protect them. It also accused the United States of “putting Salvadorans in harm’s way in circumstances where it knows or should know that harm is likely.”
In the report, HRW said it established a connection in many cases between the reasons Salvadorans had fled their country and the ultimate causes of their deaths.
