More than 130 El Salvador residents have died after being deported from the United States since 2013. This was reported by Human Rights Watch (HRW) based in the United States on Wednesday (5/2). The HRW stressed the dangers faced by migrants under the strict immigration policy of the Donald Trump administration. In a report titled "Deported to Danger", the HRW said it documented 138 cases of El Salvadorans who died after deportation, but stressed that the numbers might be much higher because there were no official figures. The HRW also found more than 70 cases of deportees who experienced sexual violence, torture and other crimes or missing. President Donald Trump tightened US immigration policies to make it difficult for Central Americans to seek asylum, forcing thousands of people to wait in Mexico when their cases are not decided.
