Many of the executive orders President Donald Trump signed since taking office for the second time have caused a stir.
Most recently, his administration signed the order for 238 supposed criminals – American immigrants – to be transferred to what is known as the “world’s worst prison” in El Salvador.
The decision was made even after a federal judge ruled against the order.
Namely, the current administration claimed that at the time of the judge’s ruling, the plane carrying the immigrants was already in international airspace.
US is expected to pay the government of President Nayib Bukele $6 million for one year of services.
It was revealed that among those deported to the “world’s worst prison,” The Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT), was a teen, 19, with no prior criminal record.
Namely, Merwil Gutiérrez was not the person intended to be arrested, and despite the mistake, which the administration confessed making, the teen was sent to El Salvador.
His devastated father, Wilmer Gutiérrez, is now searching for answers.
“I feel like my son was kidnapped. I’ve spent countless hours searching for him, going from one precinct to another, speaking with numerous people who kept referring me elsewhere,” he told Documented. “Yet, after all this, no one has given me any information or provided a single document about his case.”
At the time of his arrest on February 24, Gutiérrez was with friends in front of his apartment.
“The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building,” Wilmer added.
As reported by People, William Parra, an immigration attorney from Inmigración Al Día, said, “Merwil was detained for hanging out with friends and was at the wrong place at the wrong time. ICE was not looking for him, nor is there any evidence whatsoever that Merwil was in any gang.”
“The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building,” the dad recalled. “One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'”
The father and son arrived in the States in 2023, running from the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro.
Further, the father of the teen deported to the “world’s worst prison” says he feels like his son had been kidnapped. So far, he hasn’t been given any answers.
“I could have understood if he’d been sent back to Venezuela,” he said. “But why to a foreign country he’s never even been to?”
