A recent report by CBS News' "60 Minutes" casts doubt on claims made by the Trump administration regarding Venezuelan migrants sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. The U.S. government transferred 238 Venezuelan nationals to the facility, asserting that all were affiliated with criminal gangs.
However, the "60 Minutes" investigation found that a significant portion of these migrants, approximately 75%, had no documented criminal records. Researchers could not find any evidence to support the claim that these individuals were involved in gang activity. This discrepancy raises serious concerns about the criteria used to identify and transfer the migrants. The report highlights the importance of verifying information and ensuring due process when dealing with vulnerable populations.
