The United States has been deporting people for years. The Human Rights Watch has been collecting data on the deported since 2013. They have found that over 200 people that have been deported by the United States have been killed or tortured. Some of these people have been sexually assaulted or seriously abused. According to their data, 138 people have been killed, and more than 70 others have been beaten, sexually assaulted, extorted or tortured when they were sent to their home countries. A Salvadoran woman named Juana suffered physical, sexual, and emotional abuse by her husband and then fled to the United States to escape from him with her 2-year-old daughter. She was deported, without her young daughter, back to the same neighborhood in San Miguel, which is where 8% of all homicides in El Salvador occur. After a year and a half, Juana was reunited with her daughter. A Salvadoran woman named Adriana was killed by gang members after she was deported back to El Salvador. People are being sent back to their home countries without proper care.
