Merwil GutiƩrrez sent from New York to El Salvador prison although family says he has no criminal history or gang ties
A 19-year-old Venezuelan in New York City reportedly was apprehended by Trump administration immigration authorities and deported to El Salvador despite agentsā realizing he was not whom they meant to arrest in a targeted operation.
Merwil GutiĆ©rrez, whose family opened an asylum case after arriving in the US, was deported from the Bronx to the notorious Cecot prison in El Salvador despite his relativesā insistence that he has no gang ties or criminal history, according to Documented, a newsroom dedicated to telling the stories of immigrants in New York City. The GutiĆ©rrez family says it has been left without information or answers.
The teen was detained alongside 237 other Venezuelans on 24 February by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice). His father, Wilmer GutiĆ©rrez, told Documented: āI feel like my son was kidnapped.ā
Youāre unaware of the international criminal court then.
The US is not a member of the Rome Statute, nor the ICJ. Theyāve openly threatened those institutions with sanctions if they go after them or their citizens.
The ICJ/ICC are only for the powerless, fallen, disgraced. The big players just donāt follow those institutionsā orders, at best cherry-pick what to follow.
Iād say Iām well aware how this works.
