Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy and niece of John F. Kennedy, told press that the Salvadoran government led by Nayib Bukele prevented her from meeting with U.S. deportees she represents.

"The government of El Salvador, starting with President (Nayib) Bukele, did not respect these rights and denied us, their lawyers, access to our clients," Kennedy said in a press conference. She represents ten Venezuelan men sent to the Central American country's maximum security prison through the wartime Alien Enemies Act.
