The world pushes back on US international human trafficking -- and you need to get involved

 

Here is the complete text of Angie Cano's post:

Hundreds of Venezuelan men including my husband were kidnapped by the U.S. government and thrown into El Salvador’s mega-prison, CECOT. They had no trial, no lawyer, no notice. Some had asylum claims. Others had wives and children here. They were not criminals they were treated like hostages.

Now, the world is finally paying attention.

1. The United Nations has called this a disappearance.

2. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (CIDH) is being asked to issue emergency protections.

3. And for the first time, President Nayib

Bukele is being reported to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity for using these men as political leverage in a proposed prisoner swap.

This is not immigration enforcement.

This is state-sponsored human trafficking, arbitrary detention, and a coordinated attack on human rights.

The U.S. and El Salvador must be held accountable because the longer we stay silent, the more this abuse becomes normalized. My husband and hundreds like him are still in CECOT.

They are still incommunicado. They are still waiting.

We demand:

Immediate access to the detainees

Legal review of each case

Full cooperation with UN and CIDH investigators

And the return of those unlawfully deported

To every human rights group, journalist, and policymaker watching this we need your voice. We’re done waiting for justice to trickle down. We are fighting for it, and we won’t stop.

Several notes here:

FIRST: You really should be following her page.

SECOND: DON'T STOP TELLING THIS STORY IN ANY VENUE YOU CAN FIND. Use real names and make these cases into identifiable human beings.

THIRD: PUSH BACK AGAINST REGIME NARRATIVES ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT. The United States should not be above international law, no matter how exceptional we like to think we are.

FOURTH: FIND AN ORGANIZATION OUT THERE WORKING ON THE PROBLEM AND JOIN IT. DONATE IF YOU CAN.

This President and his regime will be remembered by their crimes.

We will be remembered for our resistance (if we never quit).
