As set forth in the attached Report, the Government of El Salvador responded to the UN
inquiry opened by the four families asking about the disappearance of their family members:
1 The attached exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request, with the exception of one of the cases for particular privacy reasons related to that individual.

Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 160
Filed 07/07/25
Page 2 of 4
The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned.
Ex. 1 at 6, 9 (emphasis added).

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.

I have been a Bernie supporter forever. He was the speaker at my high school graduation.

I appreciate your apology…I think you and I are more similar than not in our ideology

Again…you know nothing about me. Do not assume from one post that you know my politics or what I believe.

I do not like many positions of either party, but I do think there is substantial difference between Trump and Harris.

I do not support our parties but I do value our Constitution

I’m not a Democrat, but there is a vast difference between these candidates. I didn’t do any of the things you accuse me of.

I disappoints me that you would make so many assumptions of another person based on nothing but your own opinion

Your valid criticism put Trump in power. I had valid criticisms as well, but I voted for Kamala.

You didn’t like her stance, but how do you feel about Trumps plan to displace all Palestinians and make Gaza a US territory?

Do you have any criticism of our current administration that is valid?
