Kilmar Abrego Garcia was allegedly beaten and psychologically tortured during his time at CECOT, according to new court filings – reigniting a closely watched case playing out in two U.S. courts.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported from the U.S. in March, says he was brutally beaten and subjected to psychological torture while held in one of El Salvador's most notorious prisons.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was stripped naked, had his head shaved, beaten, forced to kneel for hours overnight, and lost over 30 pounds during his time at the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador, his attorneys say in a new court filing.
