The article discusses serious human rights violations associated with President Trump's deportation campaign, highlighting cases like Frizgeralth de Jesús Cornejo Pulgar and Ricardo Prada Vázquez. Both individuals faced enforced disappearances, being transported to El Salvador without due process or information provided to their families. These actions point to a pattern where immigrants simply vanish from the U.S. immigration system, raising alarm among advocates who question the legality and morality of such policies. Experts argue these practices reflect characteristics of rogue state actions, invoking international law regarding enforced disappearances.

Ben Levey, a staff attorney with the National Immigrant Justice Center, noted the tragic nature of cases like Ricardo Prada Vázquez, highlighting that many such cases remain unknown.
