When people in masks jump out of unmarked vehicles with no visible identification, handcuff someone, and take them to an undisclosed location to detain them indefinitely, that’s not law enforcement. It’s kidnapping.

That’s what U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are doing on the streets of American cities. When the U.S. government then sends the people they’ve kidnapped to a foreign country, the practice escalates to human trafficking.

From El Salvador and South Sudan to Angola, Uzbekistan, and at least 16 other countries, ICE is creating a global pipeline of American-sponsored gulags in countries often notorious for violence and human rights violations.

And those sent to these overseas prisons have no idea how long they may remain incarcerated in a country that is not their home.

The U.S. Constitution is clear: Not only is every person entitled to due process in a court of law, but even those convicted of crimes must not endure cruel and unusual punishment.

Documents show that more than 71 percent of current ICE detainees have no criminal conviction, yet that didn’t stop ICE from trafficking detainees to CECOT, the infamous Salvadoran torture prison where it’s been said “the only way out is in a coffin.”

There should be no such thing as an American gulag. Congressional pressure has already resulted in the release of one person from CECOT: Kilmar Armando Ábrego García, was returned to the United States after Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., flew to El Salvador to meet with him.

But that’s not enough: Congress must use every tool at its disposal to put an end to the administration’s illegal deportation — and not stop until every deported person wrongly imprisoned in a foreign country is brought home.

Add your name to demand Congress immediately investigate ICE’s human trafficking and indefinite detention of immigrants in foreign prisons, hold public hearings, release the findings, and do everything in its power to put an end to American-sponsored gulags now.
