Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported mistakenly from the U.S. to El Salvador in March, says he was brutally beaten and subjected to psychological torture while held in one of the Central American country's most notorious prisons.
A document filed Wednesday in federal district court in Maryland says Garcia was "subjected to severe mistreatment" when he arrived at CECOT, a mega-prison located in Tecoluca, El Salvador. The court document says Abrego Garcia's treatment included "severe beatings, severe sleep deprivation, inadequate nutrition, and psychological torture."
Abrego Garcia's lawyers shared the details about his treatment in CECOT in order to argue to a judge that he should not be deported to El Salvador, or any other country that could end up sending him there, "without prior notice and opportunity to be heard."
