Andry Hernandez, a gay makeup artist deported by the U.S. to El Salvador's most notorious prison, arrived home to his family after what he described as "an encounter with torture and death." He said prisoners were beaten, shot with rubber projectiles, held in dark cells, and served rotten food.

Our client Andry Hernández Romero came to the U.S. seeking safety, but the Trump administration has sent him to a brutal prison in El Salvador without due process.
We're fighting for Andry and everyone wrongfully sent to this prison.
Andry Hernández Romero: disappeared
"four Democratic members of Congress went to El Salvador... they sought proof of life for Hernández Romero. They didn’t get it.
“No one has actually heard about Andry at all since the abduction, including his lawyers and family” "

I won’t stop fighting until Andry Romero is released.
