According to local lawyers and experts, hundreds of people in Venezuela, who were deported from the United States in recent days, can face long or uncertain detention in a prison system full of human rights violations, according to regional lawyers and experts.
Their families and lawyers fear that they will not return to the United States for immigration or even even to Venezuela—all those who spoke to NBC News continue to insist that their loved ones and their puppets have no criminal history or gang relationships.
The Trump administration has said those sent to Al-Salvador were linked to Venezuela’s gang, known as Tren de Aragua.
“We have no idea if there is any legal process that we can challenge the issue, or in Alslovador or America,” said Lindsey Tochilosky, a lawyer representing a Venezuelan man representing in the early 1930s. “This is the biggest human rights violation I have seen.
He and other lawyers have said they have not been able to reach their potentials and fear they are no longer in a prison system that is famous for collective detention, misuse and lack of legal process.
Tochilosky said his lens was not a gang member and was deported without his knowledge. He is now afraid of an unknown detention in a “very dangerous situation”

Tochilosky, the executive director of the Migration Defenders Law, is a legal company working with immigrants, asking not to recognize his vessel because of concerns about his safety. He said he is scheduled to hold a meeting next month to stay in the United States and have no criminal history.
The Trump administration over the weekend referred to the law of foreign enemies, rarely used since 1798, allowing the president to deport non-national citizens during war. He said he had removed hundreds of Venezuelan immigrants who were allegedly members of a gang that would fly from the United States to Al-Salvador, where they were taken to a notorious megaprasse.
According to Salvador’s government, the migrants have been sent back to one of the greatest, known as the Center for Terrory Prison or Sikot, for a year that will “renewal. The Trump administration has announced that it will pay $6 million to Al-Salvador to imprison about 300 people who were allegedly members of the Tren de Aragua.
The White House said in a statement Tuesday that “religious DHS intelligence assessments of these gangs’ relations and crimes” referring to the Interior Ministry, said the Venezuelan migrants had the final deportation decision. The Trump administration has not released evidence that Al-Salvador has the history of criminal or gang-related history.
Some families and lawyers strongly deny that Venezuela immigrants are linked to Treen de Aragu. They say their family members have been falsely accused and targeted by their tattoos.
Tochilosky said he couldn’t reach his circle. He said immigration and customs implementation this week told him that he would not facilitate communication between him and his length, and would not facilitate his return to the United States for continued asylum cases.
The ICE did not immediately respond to his requests to comment on these claims and whether it helps to facilitate or help anyone sent to Al-Salvador who has immigrated cases and thus not the final deportation order.
The Trump administration has announced that it will pay $6 million to Al-Salvador to imprison about 300 people who are allegedly a member of the Tren Deraguan gang for a year.
The detailed conditions of those imprisoned in Sikot are widely uncertain, because human rights groups are not allowed and the media are rarely accessible.
Last year, CNN said during a visit to Sicot that the houses were found to have about 80 prisoners and men were detained for 23.5 hours a day. CNN added that the cells had a cotton metal area that did not contain any cloth, pillows or mattresses, as well as open toilets and plastic buckets to wash.
Human rights organizations, such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, have made a lot of congestion, torture and other issues in prisons and others in the country.
Groups have documented human rights violations in Salvador’s prison system for years, and unknown arrests without access to the legal process. In recent years, President Nayb Buckel has used emergency authorities to suspend certain basic rights and allow the arrest of tens of thousands of suspected members of the street gangs. More than 80,000 people have been arrested since the order.
Last year, Human Rights Organization Christalsal said at least 261 people had died in Salvador’s prisons since
Buckle is proud of its country’s mass imprisonment system. In February 2024, he wrote in X magazine X: “The world’s highest imprisonment rate / safest country in the western hemisphere is not missile science.
“We can say very strongly that Salvador’s prison system is not a place for immigrants,” said Juanta Goberts Estrada, director of the US Human Rights Watch. The organization has been working as a field work in Al-Salvador for years, publishing two recent reports on prison conditions there.
“We are cases of torture, unpleasant treatment, malnutrition, in the lack of access to medical services,” he said. “We have been very difficult to limit the legal process. We have not come out in Sikot, especially those who have entered.
The migrants, who were introduced as the center of terrorism prisons for a year, were introduced to each other for a year.
The doll and his administration have promised to be sure that anyone who enters the secuth will never return to their communities.
Experts and lawyers say they are strongly concerned that migrants will be rejected for legal action, both in terms of being expelled from the United States and in terms of their cases of constant immigration in the United States, and about their fate as they remain in Al-Salvador.
Anna Maria Mendes Dardon, director of Central America at Washington’s Latin America office, said the “the judicial system in Alsvador is collapsed” and is not independent even to deal properly with issues facing its citizens, let alone concerns about the necessary processes for immigrants.
“For Buckel, justice means only mass imprisonment,” he said.
“These people have no refuge in Al-Salvador because there was no judicial independence,” Goberto said.
Miami’s immigrant lawyer Martin Rozov says he believes a Venezuelan refugee who represents him has been quietly expelled from the United States and is now probably in Salvador’s prison system.
“We haven’t been able to find him anywhere. All the signs indicate that he is there in Sikot prison. We can’t reach it, and we don’t know what’s going on,” he said.
Franco Jose Karaballo Tipa, 26, a barber and father of two children, has been seeking asylum in the United States due to political persecution and has no criminal history. Karaballo Tipa was released with his wife before being arrested in February before being arrested.
Then on Friday night, his wife called him crying and disappointed and said he was supposed to be deported. Rosnoo said the name of Karaballo Tipa is no longer on the list of ice detainees, which only happens when his veil was released from detention or deportation.
The Trump administration has not yet told Rosno and where it is or what has happened to the situation around him.
The ICE did not respond immediately to comment on the Caraballo Thipa and whether it was deported and sent to Al-Salvador.
“My hope is only on our judiciary to restore the arms of these people – and I don’t even know whether that will be done,” Rosnoo said.
