		Under Trump, the hunt for migrants has reopened — resulting in a mass deportation of innocent Venezuelans to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador.

Among them is Francisco Javier Garcia Casique, a 24-year-old barber from Maracay, Venezuela. No criminal record, no charges, no trial. Just a few tattoos — and the bad luck of being in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong passport.
