MS-13 Gang Member Kilmar Abrego Garcia Claims He Was “Severely Beaten” While Jailed in El Salvador’s CECOT Prison – DHS Spox Responds with Fire |

MS-13 Gang Member Kilmar Abrego Garcia Claims He Was “Severely Beaten” While Jailed in El Salvador’s CECOT Prison – DHS Spox Responds with Fire |
SHARE

In a recent court filing, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the notorious MS-13 gang, detailed claims of severe mistreatment during his time at El Salvador’s CECOT prison. He alleges that while incarcerated, he was subjected to brutal physical abuse, including being kicked and struck to expedite a clothing change.

In a twist of legal fate, a federal magistrate judge in Tennessee has opted to postpone Garcia’s release, effectively preventing his immediate deportation.

The court documents state, “Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was then forced to strip, issued prison clothing, and subjected to physical abuse including being kicked in the legs with boots and struck on his head and arms to make him change clothes faster.” This stark account raises questions about the treatment of inmates in foreign facilities.

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia offered his first account of the “severe beatings” and other abuses he says he suffered while jailed in El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison.

He says in a court filing that he lost 31 lbs in two weeks.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security responded sharply to Garcia’s allegations, suggesting that the media is overly sympathetic toward him. “The media’s sympathetic narrative about this criminal illegal gang member has completely fallen apart, yet they continue to peddle his sob story,” Tricia McLaughlin stated, reflecting a broader tension between law enforcement and media narratives.

In a further development, the Justice Department has indicated it will initiate deportation proceedings against Garcia following a federal judge’s decision to release him. This comes as U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw, appointed during the Obama administration, ruled that Garcia should not be held as he awaits trial on serious federal child-trafficking charges.

This ruling marks the second time a judge has determined that Garcia should not remain in detention pending trial. Just last week, federal magistrate judge Barbara Holmes also ruled in favor of his release, citing insufficient grounds for continued detention on criminal charges.

However, Garcia’s release from prison remains complicated, as he is currently detained by ICE. The Department of Justice has indicated that he will be deported to a “third country” that is not El Salvador once he is released, though a specific timeline for this process remains unspecified.

Last month, Garcia pleaded not guilty to the human trafficking charges, actively contesting his detention while awaiting trial. This case highlights not only the complexities of immigration law but also the ongoing debates surrounding the treatment of alleged criminals and the responsibilities of U.S. authorities in handling such cases.
