A shocking new report says at least 200 Salvadoran asylum seekers were either killed, raped, or tortured after being deported from the United States back to El Salvador.
According to Human Rights Watch, some 138 people who were deported to El Salvador were murdered by gang members, police, soldiers, death squads, or ex-partners between 2013 and 2019.
