Neiyerver Adrián Leon Rengel, a Venezuelan man deported to El Salvador’s CECOT prison under U.S. wartime authorities, is suing the U.S. government for $1.3 million, alleging he endured torture‑like conditions during a month he described on camera as "total hell." CBS News has aired an on‑camera segment keeping the case in the national conversation and framing it as a test of U.S. responsibility for torture risks when deporting migrants under wartime authorities.
