Relatives of Venezuelan migrants sent by the United States to a Salvadoran prison protested Saturday for their release, joining other families who said they were “deceived” in believing they were headed to Venezuela.
Over 200 Venezuelans were flown from the United States on March 16 to a maximum security prison and forced labor camp in El Salvador, after President Donald Trump invoked wartime powers to expel alleged gang members.
The decision has triggered a legal standoff in Washington, after a judge tried to block the deportation flights, and in Venezuela it has sparked outrage among family members.
