At least 50 Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador had entered the United States legally, according to a new report by the Cato Institute.
The think tank reached the conclusion after analyzing publicly available records for 174 of the more than 200 migrants sent to El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) in March. Of the 90 cases with clear entry documentation, 50 individuals had entered the U.S. through official channels, such as parole programs, ports of entry, refugee resettlement, or valid visas.
