Friend,
We emailed earlier this week to share that this week marks 100 days since Trump began disappearing and detaining immigrants in El Salvador’s mega-prison, CECOT. Thank you to everyone who contacted your members of Congress — your voices are helping us maintain crucial pressure.
Because this issue demands urgent attention, we want to share a new resource we just published that details everything we know about the disappearances, including personal stories from impacted people. Read everything we’ve uncovered about the CECOT disappearances in our latest resource >>> ([link removed])
VISIT OUR LATEST RESOURCE ([link removed])
We’ve also included a list of locations where, thanks to the determination of families, advocates, and lawyers, we’ve begun to identify where some of these people lived. If you live in one of the cities or states on the list below, one or more of your neighbors have already been targeted. If not, now is the time to act — before more lives and families are torn apart.
Please help us spread the word about Trump’s unlawful disappearances by sharing our new resource. ([link removed]) The more people who learn the truth, the harder it becomes for ICE to carry out these disappearances in silence.
Thank you for standing with us,
— National Immigration Law Center
P.S. If you haven’t emailed your members of Congress about these disappearances, now’s the time — urge them to demand the return of those detained at CECOT. Take action here. ([link removed])

Friend,
As of this week, more than 280 men and young adults have languished in El Salvador’s infamous CECOT mega-prison for 100 days, cut off from their families, lawyers, and communities. As a reminder, the Trump administration shipped these men to a foreign torture prison, many in defiance of a court’s order. It is a human rights emergency and a stain on the nation’s conscience that their imprisonment has lasted this long.
The men detained in CECOT are fathers, sons, and neighbors. The U.S. government tore them from their communities and sent them away in secret, with no notice, no attorneys, and no due process. Since then, their families and lawyers have been left to rely on brief glimpses of faces on television screens to confirm if they are still alive.
And after 100 days, we still don’t know:
How many people have been disappeared — or why
The extent of the abuses occurring inside CECOT's walls
Their current physical and mental health conditions
Disappearances are the tools of authoritarian regimes — not of a democracy that values justice, due process, and its constitution. If we don’t collectively demand their return, these men will continue to languish, and some will likely die.
Congress must step up and demand the immediate return of those detained at CECOT and condemn the use of the Alien Enemies Act to disappear immigrants from the U.S. If you’ve already reached out, please send another message to amplify the urgency of this issue. ([link removed])
