CECOT Deportation Pipeline

This article provides on‑the‑record evidence of harms produced by President Trump’s deportation campaign (federal immigration officers deploying chemical agents and harming children), concretely exemplifying the claim that the administration’s deportation program is producing a pipeline of coercive, harmful enforcement actions; ProPublica’s finding (at least 79 children harmed, including a 6‑month‑old) directly connects to the idea about systematic deportation operations and their downstream effects.

The article chronicles five Venezuelan men deported from the U.S., detained for months in CECOT without family contact, then abruptly flown home.
