'Abrego Garcia says he was severely beaten in Salvadoran prison'

"Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported mistakenly from the U.S. to El Salvador in March, says he was brutally beaten and subjected to psychological torture while held in one of the Central American country's most notorious prisons."

"A document filed Wednesday in federal district court in Maryland says Garcia was 'subjected to severe mistreatment' when he arrived at CECOT, a mega-prison located in Tecoluca, El Salvador. The court document says Abrego Garcia's treatment included 'severe beatings, severe sleep deprivation, inadequate nutrition, and psychological torture.'"
