Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution requests that the Secretary of State provide Congress with a detailed report on El Salvador's human rights practices within 30 days of the resolution's adoption. The report, prepared in coordination with the State Department's human rights and legal teams, should address alleged violations by the Salvadoran government including torture, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, and trafficking in persons. The resolution places particular emphasis on documenting how non-citizen individuals removed to El Salvador by the United States have been treated, including assessing whether U.S. security assistance could potentially support activities involving detention or trafficking. The report should also detail all U.S. government actions taken to promote human rights in El Salvador, assess conditions in Salvadoran detention facilities, and provide information about all individuals sent to El Salvador by the U.S. in 2025 and 2026, along with any assurances the U.S. received regarding their treatment. This resolution has no direct budgetary impact but serves as a congressional oversight mechanism to ensure transparency regarding U.S. relations with El Salvador and the treatment of individuals removed there.
