In the days before the #Trump admin deported hundreds of #Venezuelan immigrants to #CECOT, a notorious prison in #ElSalvador, the president of that country demanded something: the return of 9 MS13 gang leaders in US custody. Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, in a March 13 phone call with Salvadoran President Nayib #Bukele, promised the request would be fulfilled….But there was one obstacle: Some of the MS-13 members Bukele wanted were “ #informants” under the #protection of the US govt, Rubio told him.

“The Venezuelans who want to leave the U.S. described how CBP Home representatives told them that their lack of passports wouldn't be a problem and that the U.S. government would help them obtain the travel documents they needed. Now they are being told that they're on their own - if they get any response at all.”

Jones, who lives on the 4th floor, said most of his neighbors were #Venezuelan & often took turns cleaning the hallway because the property owners did little to maintain it.
“They were cool people,” Jones said as he looked into his next door neighbor’s unit. “They didn’t speak a lick of English, but we used translator apps to talk to each other.”
Jones wondered what would happen to his neighbor’s young #children.

“It was heartbreaking to watch,” said Watson. “Even if you’re not a mother, seeing #kids coming out buck #naked & taken from their #mothers, it was horrible.”
Watson said she went into the building to help one of the residents & was shocked by what she saw.
“Stuff was everywhere,” said Watson. “You could see people’s #BirthCertificates, & papers thrown all over. Water was leaking into the hallway. It was wicked crazy.”
