The destruction of is breaking the world - theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int "The law requires restricting assistance to military units of foreign governments engaged in gross human rights violations. It has never been applied to ."

The U.S. State Department is paying El Salvador $6 million
to house hundreds of immigrants deported from the United States in an immense and brutal prison there,
Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo, or #CECOT.

But a U.S. law bars the department’s financial support of “units of foreign security forces”
— which can include military and law enforcement staff in prisons
—  facing credible allegations of gross human rights violations.
That has led those who wrote what’s known as the #Leahy #Law and enforced it for years to question the legality of the $6 million payment made as Trump carries out his campaign of mass deportation.
The Trump administration on March 15 sent 261 men to CECOT,
after invoking the #Alien #Enemies Act of 1798 to apply to Venezuelan nationals 14 and older who are suspected members of the gang Tren de Aragua.
On March 30, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said an additional 17 nationals from El Salvador were sent to CECOT, again alleging gang ties.
On Sunday, #Rubio said 10 more men were sent to the prison in El Salvador, and noted how
“the alliance between” the U.S. and El Salvador
“has become an example for security and prosperity in our hemisphere.”

Leahy Law

Under the so-called “Leahy Law” the US government must automatically stop providing funding and training to foreign security forces where there is credible information they have committed gross violations of human rights.

The law, named after former Vermont Senator Patrick , covers human rights violations including “torture, extrajudicial killing, enforced disappearance, and rape”.

@palvaro The US federal government is currently violating numerous laws (including, for instance, #Leahy laws about funding foreign military units credibly accused of #WarCrimes).

Can all the #SF citizens losing sleep and mental health (and in some cases, the lives of relatives in #Gaza) over their national government being complicit in an ongoing genocide get some kind of compensation?

🎻🎵 Happy Sunday! I hope all is well on your side of the world. It's 3°C (37°F) over here. The cleaning day has already started, the windows are opened and it feels like a fresh inner rebirth from spring. For the occasion, let me share with you that beautiful piece of violin.

From the Canadian music group called Leahy, here's Seamus.

May this violin bring you courage, hope and victory in the challenges of life that you are facing. 🕯️
