While the Trump administration has admitted it mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, it maintains he’s a gang member. But his American wife Jennifer told us he is an “amazing father” and “not a criminal.” He’s now at one of the world’s most notorious prisons.

ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said. He spent several hours in an ICE processing center before officers checked his wallet and realized he is a U.S. citizen.

ICE arrested US-born citizen Julio Noriega. He spent most of the night in immigration detention.

But Noriega was lucky – he carried his Social Security card on him. If he didn’t, he could have been there much longer.

It’s important you understand this. The people in this photo were residents of the USA that were denied due process. They were rounded up and shipped to a prison in El Salvador—without trial, without evidence—simply on suspicion of gang affiliation. This was done in defiance of our American courts that deemed the action illegal. They could be legal residents. They could be innocent bystanders. They could be asylum seekers. For all we know, they could be U.S. citizens. Now, they’re trapped in one of the most violent prisons on Earth, enduring brutality beyond what most of us can imagine. If you don’t find this morally repulsive, then you are morally repulsive.
