El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has disputed claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia experienced “severe mistreatment” and “torture” while he was held in Salvadoran custody.
This week, Abrego Garcia’s attorneys said the 29-year-old was subject to “severe beatings, severe sleep deprivation, inadequate nutrition, and psychological torture” while he was held in a notorious, maximum-security prison known as CECOT. Abrego Garcia was sent there in March after the Trump administration wrongfully deported him.
