evidence: A Human Rights Watch investigation has found that more than 100 people were killed after deportation from the United States to El Salvador, affirming media and immigration watchdog claims that Central American deportees have met violent deaths. Using press reports, court documents, as well as interviews with victims’ families and authorities, researchers with Human Rights Watch (HRW) documented 138 people killed between 2013 and 2019 after being deported. Of these, 81 were killed within a year of their return to El Salvador, 15 others killed within two years, and the rest within five years, according to a 117-page report titled "Deported to Danger" published in February 2020. [...] Whether El Salvador’s deportees faced greater dangers when they were returned is hard to assess, Parker said, but it is possible.
