"SNIP.....
Associated Press: At least 138 people deported to El Salvador from the U.S. in recent years were subsequently killed, Human Rights Watch says in a new report that comes as the Trump administration makes it harder for Central Americans to seek refuge here.
The organization also confirmed at least 70 cases of sexual assault or other violence following their arrival in the country.

Unbelievable.

I'm shattered.
