At the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Anson, Texas, a group of Venezuelan migrants have staged a desperate plea for help.

The detainees, trapped in legal and political limbo, fear they may soon be deported to El Salvador’s infamous CECOT maximum security prison, a facility known for its harsh conditions and controversial mass detentions.
