New Filings Detail Alleged Torture of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador Prison; Judge Issues Gag Order on Government

New court filings reveal harrowing details of alleged psychological and physical torture endured by Kilmar Abrego Garcia during his detention at El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison. His attorneys assert that Abrego, who was mistakenly deported by the Trump administration in March 2025 and returned to the U.S. in June 2025, was subjected to severe beatings, sleep deprivation, and starvation, leading to a significant 30-pound weight loss.

The amended complaint, filed recently, describes how Abrego was allegedly stripped, beaten, had his head shaved, and was forced to kneel for hours overnight upon arrival at the megaprison. He was reportedly denied bathroom access, confined to overcrowded cells without mattresses or windows, and constantly threatened with transfers to gang-infested modules. His lawyers claim he observed extreme violence among inmates without intervention and was denied communication with family or counsel until a senatorial visit in April 2025.

This shocking testimony is part of a federal lawsuit filed by Abrego’s wife against the Trump administration, seeking a ruling that the government violated his Fifth Amendment due process rights throughout the ordeal. Amidst these revelations, a federal judge in Tennessee, where Abrego now faces human smuggling charges, has ordered the Trump administration to cease making out-of-court statements that could jeopardize his right to a fair trial. Abrego’s family and attorneys vehemently deny the government’s claims of his involvement with MS-13, asserting he fled gang violence in El Salvador years ago and was merely transporting workers.
