U.S. sent 238 migrants to Salvadoran mega-prison; documents indicate most have no apparent criminal records

Three weeks ago, 238 Venezuelan migrants were flown from Texas to a maximum security prison in El Salvador.

That country’s president offered to take them and the Trump administration used a law not invoked since World War II to send them – claiming they are all terrorists and violent gang members.

The government has released very little information about the men. But through internal government documents, we have obtained a list of their identities and found that an overwhelming majority have no apparent criminal convictions or even criminal charges.
