Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution requests that the Secretary of State submit a detailed report to Congress within 30 days about Ecuador's human rights practices, with particular focus on how the Ecuadorian government treats non-citizens who have been removed there by the United States. The report must be prepared in collaboration with the State Department's human rights and legal affairs offices and should document alleged violations including torture, unlawful detention, enforced disappearances, human trafficking, and extrajudicial killings. The resolution specifically directs the Secretary of State to assess whether U.S. security assistance to Ecuador could support these abusive practices and to evaluate conditions facing deported individuals, including whether the U.S. government obtained assurances about their safety before removal. Additionally, the report must detail all agreements between the U.S. and Ecuador related to detention or removal of non-citizens, information about individuals sent to Ecuador in 2025 and 2026, and any U.S. efforts to protect vulnerable populations or bring wrongfully removed people back to the United States.
