RealJournalism<p>On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Without providing evidence, Trump has called the men “some of the most violent savages on the face of the Earth.”</p><p>Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they'd been taken away. Now, the truth of all their stories — one by one — will begin to be told. <a href="https://projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-immigrants-trump-deported-cecot/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">projects.propublica.org/venezu</span><span class="invisible">elan-immigrants-trump-deported-cecot/</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Immigration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ElSalvador" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElSalvador</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Venezuela" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Venezuela</span></a></p>
