Over the course of four months, ProPublica, The Texas Tribune, Cazadores de Fake News, and Alianza Investigadora Reblende identified and compiled a comprehensive list of profiles of the men the Trump administration had sent to the maximum-security prison, Cecot, in El Salvador. When the men returned to Venezuela in late July, we produced a series of videos that provided firsthand accounts of their experiences and the impact their deportation had on their families.
