Javier Salazar, a 19-year-old Venezuelan immigrant, feared being sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador after being detained. He recounted his tense bus ride from an immigrant detention center, where he and others were shackled, uncertain of their fate. The situation escalated as reports emerged about Venezuelans being deported based on flimsy evidence. However, an emergency order from the Supreme Court halted their removal, allowing Salazar to avoid immediate danger but leaving him uncertain about his future in detention.
Salazar expressed relief yet sadness, stating, "I thank God that we weren't sent to El Salvador, but I am still sad knowing that I am in this detention facility."
