How A Tortured Man Ended Up In The One Place He Couldn't Be Deported To
About this episode
The episode discusses the case of M.G., a man who sought refuge in the U.S. after being tortured in El Salvador, but faced deportation despite protections under the Convention Against Torture.
After he was tortured in El Salvador and one of his family members was killed, M.G. sought refuge in the United States. A protection under the Convention Against Torture was supposed to make sure M.G. didn’t go back. Instead, immigration officials detained him for over a year, then deported him. Now, we can't get a hold of him.
