From NBC News:
Academic researcher Al Valdez was in El Salvador’s capital city two years ago watching bewildered deportees from America step onto the tarmac. … There was no one offering to help rehabilitate them into Salvadoran society. “I was disturbed. They were simply repatriated back into their country,” said Valdez…. Valdez, who teaches gang history at the University of California, Irvine, recalled how one student from Guatemala had interviewed an uncle for a class report. His family member described the threats and feeling of anxiety living in a place where every venture outside could be his last.
