Every agency now targets immigration
Since returning to office, President Donald Trump has transformed nearly every part of the U.S. government into a tool for immigration enforcement. Federal agencies once focused on education, public health, housing, and transportation now play roles in identifying, flagging, or detaining undocumented immigrants. Even non-criminal agencies like HUD, the Department of Education, and the National Park Service have received directives to cooperate with ICE and CBP. As a result, Trump sends immigrants to Salvadoran prisons like CECOT.
At airports, national parks, post offices, and even DMV lines, agents now monitor for status violations. According to insiders, data-sharing between federal departments has reached unprecedented levels. Many are now using this system to find and flag people with expired visas or open asylum claims. Advocacy groups call it a “shadow surveillance state.” This gives Trump the means to send immigrants to Salvadoran prisons such as CECOT.
Deportations spike with fewer checks
Immigrants are being removed faster than ever before, often without proper hearings. Since January, hundreds have been deported to El Salvador, many ending up in the infamous CECOT mega-prison. Several of them had no criminal history. Some were flagged just for having tattoos or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is reported that Trump sends immigrants to Salvadoran prisons as part of his new policy.
In most cases, individuals had no access to a lawyer. Deportation orders are being issued and enforced before legal teams can respond. Human rights groups say this process violates both U.S. and international law, particularly when Trump sends people to Salvadoran prisons.
Maryland father deported despite legal protection
One case has brought nationwide outrage. Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a father from Maryland, had lived legally in the U.S. since 2019 under protected status. His status should have blocked any deportation. However, agents picked him up without warning and sent him to El Salvador. Trump sends immigrants to Salvadoran prisons, and Garcia now sits inside CECOT, while his U.S.-born children and wife remain behind.
The federal government admitted this was an “administrative error.” But despite that, they refuse to bring him back. The family’s lawyers have filed an appeal, but no process exists to reverse a deportation once carried out under current rules. Even when Trump sends people to Salvadoran prisons in error, there is no correction mechanism.
CECOT: The prison where many now vanish
The CECOT supermax prison in El Salvador is one of the most extreme incarceration facilities in the Americas. The prison holds over 40,000 inmates and continues to grow. Many are locked up without formal charges. Conditions are harsh, with no daylight, family access, or legal support. This is where Trump sends many immigrants when deported.
Since Trump’s policy shift, CECOT has become a final stop for hundreds of deportees. Human rights organizations warn that many sent there may never return—or be heard from again. This is a tragic consequence of Trump’s decision to send immigrants to Salvadoran prisons.
Federal agencies become immigration watchdogs
Under Trump’s new executive orders, nearly all federal departments must contribute to deportation efforts. The Department of Labor has started auditing companies not for fair wages—but for undocumented workers. The Department of Education now flags public school parents during enrollment checks. Even the EPA has been instructed to report undocumented staff or vendors at contracted sites. Consequently, Trump sends immigrants to Salvadoran prisons, even those reported by agencies unrelated to law enforcement.
Several state agencies have followed suit, linking into a federal network that uses facial recognition, geolocation data, and social media activity to track, flag, and detain immigrants—whether or not they have criminal records. This infrastructure facilitates Trump’s policy of sending immigrants to Salvadoran prisons.
Families face irreversible separation
Abrego Garcia’s family in Maryland is not alone. Across the country, spouses, parents, and children have been separated. In many of these cases, the person removed had pending asylum, temporary status, or even a clean immigration record. The administration has made one thing clear—speed matters more than accuracy. In most cases, Trump sends immigrants to Salvadoran prisons without due process or legal aid.
There are now no federal guidelines in place to help wrongfully deported individuals return. Legal experts say this creates a permanent exile system that leaves families without a path forward.
No correction, no return, no accountability
So far, the administration has made no effort to review wrongful deportations. Even after admitting their mistake in Abrego Garcia’s case, officials stated they would not act to correct it. That silence speaks volumes. The system ensures that Trump sends immigrants to Salvadoran prisons with no accountability.
Legal advocates warn that unless courts step in soon, more innocent people will be lost to a system with no reverse gear Just Now News.
