South Texas ICE Facility in Pearsall, TX where these migrants are being held is owned and operated by the private for-profit GEO Group.
The strategy is to get people in these facilities quickly before they can form a legal challenge. Then they deprive them of outside contact.

Ximena and her father are being held at Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA. Owned and operated by the private for-profit company CoreCivic. CNN profiled the brutal conditions there in 2018.
This is part of the admin's larger pattern of moving immigrants to for-profit centers. Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, and Badar Khan Suri are in 3 of these for-profit centers.

I just met my client Dr. Badar Khan Suri for the first time in person. He said something I won't soon forget.
"I was who they wanted me to be, my head down, silent. But after they did this, why should I be silent? If they wanted me to be silent, they shouldn't have arrested me."
#FreeBadarKhanSuri
Free Dr. Badar Khan Suri!
Illegally transferred to Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, TX. It is owned by a private, for profit company - LaSalle Corrections. Part of the govt's larger pattern of moving detainees from their home states into for profit facilities in more conservative areas.
They’re gonna start rounding up Haitians and accusing them of being members of these gangs www.state.gov/releases/off...
Conspiracy minded folks: what if I told you a top government official was lying to keep you away from a cheap lifesaving invention that could eliminate measles?
That official is RFK and it's a vaccine.
Hoping for Abrego Garcia's eventual release to set a precedent for the release of the 277 other men illegally sent to CECOT. Including Neri Alvarado Borges, a baker with an autism awareness tattoo for his little brother, and Andry Hernandez Romero, a makeup artist.

No progress after the 7 day pause agreed to by Abrego Garcia's lawyers. I wonder if anything will come out about why they agreed to the pause. New May 9 deadline for admin officials' depositions. Shameful the govt is making a mockery of the law and human rights
Hi, all. The Fifth Amendment requires due process for all "persons" not just citizens.
I swore an oath to the Constitution--against all enemies, even domestic.
I hereby advocate due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Bring it, you little bearded Eva Braun, who loves f*cking Nazis in charge...
The family believes Mendez is being held in Dover, NH.
Strafford County Corrections, the ICE facility in Dover, is contracted with ICE to receive $83 per detainee per day.

Kudos to @vanhollen.senate.gov
We should be sending one person there every day until all 288 men #TraffickedbyTrump are returned.
288 men are still unlawfully in CECOT because of the US.
Including Neri Jose Alvarado Borges, a Venezuelan man working in a bakery in Lewisville, TX while he legally sought asylum. He is known as a good friend, hard worker, and devoted older brother.

I'm not saying that constitutes due process or a legal way to send people to CECOT. I think the media probably fears retribution if they make anything but airtight claims (media fear and preemptive acquiescence is its own story).
Agreed. I think they've latched on bc the admin admitted it was a mistake in court. They can fall back on that if they were sued. We don't know the mechanism used to send the others. Some reportedly signed papers believing they would be deported to Venezuela, only to be sent to CECOT.
Judge Xinis:
- By tomorrow, Plaintiffs propose 15 "interrogatories" and 15 requests for production. Trump admin replies by the 21st.
- By the 23rd, Plaintiffs depose the 3 government declarants, then can propose up to two more depos.
- Discovery closes April 28. Briefing concludes April 30.
Great read! Both Khalil and Öztürk were also immediately transported to ICE detention centers owned and operated by the private for-profit GEO Group. Central LA ICE Processing and South LA Immigration Center, respectively. #TraffickedbyTrump

He is the only targeted student (out of 5 currently detained) not yet in a center operating under an agreement for money.

Freudian slip by Karoline. She's complicit in the trafficking of students and the 288 men at CECOT. #TraffickedbyTrump
current count of men at CECOT from US with no due process:
261 men on March 15
17 men on March 30
10 men on April 12 (claimed by Rubio, no info released yet)
288 Salvadoran and Venezuelan men #TraffickedbyTrump
Her lies are usually so practiced, but saying human trafficking when nobody else has ever said that... Freudian slip Karoline?? We know who is doing the trafficking of Garcia, 287 other men, and several students. #TraffickedbyTrump
Karoline, have you been thinking about human trafficking a lot?? Maybe because it's exactly what YOU'RE engaged in every day?? You're complicit in the forcible transport of Garcia, 287 other men, and several students. #TraffickedbyTrump
Freudian slip Karoline?? She's got human trafficking on the brain...these men + the students being abducted were #TraffickedbyTrump
TIMELINE ABREGO GARCIA GANG ALLEGATIONS - SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION. 2011-2019: Entry and Early Life: Kilmar Abrego Garcia flees El Salvador to the US at age 16, after M-18 gang members extort his family and threaten to kill him and rape his sisters if they didn’t keep paying. He moves in with his US citizen brother in Maryland and lives there without trouble for years. March 28, 2019: PGPD Arrest. Kilmar is arrested for loitering outside Home Depot while looking for day labor. A Prince Georges County PD detective grills him about whether he’s a gang member. He denies any involvement. Four hours later, he is transferred to ICE custody, without PGPD charging him for any offense. April 2019: ICE Allegations: At a bond hearing, ICE claims Kilmar is part of MS-13. They submit one piece of evidence: a “Gang Field Interview Sheet” (GFIS) filled out by the PGPD detective that claims Kilmar is part of MS-13. The GFIS says (1) he was wearing Chicago Bulls gear, and (2) a “confidential informant” allegedly claimed that Kilmar was a ranking member of the “Westerns” clique, which is in Long Island, a place he has never lived in.
Summer 2019: Investigation: Kilmar’s lawyers reach out to PGPD to investigate these claims. They find out that (1) the police did not even file an incident report about his arrest, and (2) the detective that filled out the GFIS has been suspended for an unknown reason. August 2019: IJ Decision: At his final bond hearing, ICE declines to offer any evidence of gang membership other than what’s in the GFIS. The IJ denies bond, finding that the GFIS is sufficient proof of membership at this time, despite noting its obvious flaws. Kilmar appeals this decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. October 2019: Withholding Win: The immigration judge rules that Kilmar is ineligible for asylum because he filed the application too late. But the judge does grant “withholding of removal,” finding that it was “more likely than not” that he would be subject to persecution if deported to El Salvador. A removal order is issued, but with a restriction that the one country he cannot be deported to is El Salvador.
December 2019: BIA Decision: Kilmar appeals the bond decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. The appeals board declines to find “clear error” in the immigration judge’s decision to rely on the GFIS document. However, he is released anyway because he had won withholding of removal. 2019-2025: Normal Life: Kilmar lives a normal life in Maryland with his U.S. citizen wife, their biological son, and his two stepchildren. With his work permit, he gets a job as a sheet metal worker, joins a union, and raises his family in a DC suburb. He doesn’t get into any trouble with the law. March 2025: Sent to CECOT: On March 12, 2025, ICE comes to Kilmar’s home and arrests him in front of his children. Three days later he’s transferred to Texas, where, thanks to an “administrative error,” he is put on a plane to El Salvador and sent to CECOT
Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered.
As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!
