Adam Carrasquillo tells the story of Jesus Teran, who fled oppression in Venezuela, where he was trained to be a civil engineer, and became a carpenter in the US. He went for a check-in at the ICE office in Pittsburgh and was arrested on July 8, though he's followed all laws.

"Jesus’s detention resembles thousands of other stories that are quickly defining American society in the age of Trump deportations."

Prefacing a difficult-to-read report on the testimony of men now freed from CECOT, ProPublica states,

"We interviewed nine men for this story. They are bewildered, frightened, angry. Some said their feelings about what happened were still so raw they had trouble finding words to describe them. All of the men said they were abused physically and mentally during their imprisonment."

After being released from Salvadoran prison CECOT, Albert Jesús Rodríguez Parra says he was relieved to be home with his family but felt traumatized.

Calling from a Texas detention center, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas told his wife to hit record:

“They detained me simply because of my tattoos. I am not a criminal.”

“Just in case something happens to me, so you can be aware.”

A month later, he was gone.
