Grażyna Baranowska @grabaranowska.bsky.social · 05/05/2025
Sorry for the delay in responding! From what I have so far understood, the fate and whereabout are known until they are handled over to El Salvador. So it only becomes concealed, once people are in El Salvador. This means, the ED takes place in El Salvador, but US deports knowing that.

From what I have followed the cases, there might have been (short-term) enforced disappearances within ICE detention, but those deported are registered to be deported. So the deportation itself would no be ED, however some then disappeared in El Salvador prison system. www.hrw.org/news/2025/04...
