Attorneys representing Kilmar Abrego Garcia say the Maryland father was brutally beaten and tortured during the three months he was imprisoned in El Salvador after the Trump administration wrongfully sent him there in March. The reports of abuse were detailed in court documents filed Wednesday as part of a civil lawsuit against the U.S. government that describe how Abrego Garcia was “subjected to severe mistreatment upon arrival at CECOT, including but not limited to severe beatings, severe sleep deprivation, inadequate nutrition, and psychological torture.” Abrego Garcia’s lawyers say he lost 31 pounds during his first two weeks of confinement at the CECOT mega-prison, and that later he and four others were transferred to a different part of the prison, “where they were photographed with mattresses and better food — photos that appeared to be staged to document improved conditions.” Abrego García is currently in federal custody in Nashville.
