This resolution requests the Secretary of State to submit a comprehensive statement on El Salvador's human rights practices to Congress within 30 days, as mandated by the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The statement must detail all available credible information concerning alleged violations by the Government of El Salvador, including torture , forced disappearances , transnational repression, and the denial of due process , along with an evaluation of judicial independence. It also requires information on the treatment of foreign nationals detained in the country. The resolution further seeks a description of steps the United States Government has taken to promote human rights and discourage inimical practices in El Salvador, particularly during its ongoing State of Exception. This includes an assessment of the likelihood that U.S. security assistance could be used to support activities related to the rendition, trafficking, or detention of non-nationals, and an assessment of conditions in El Salvador's Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) prison, addressing allegations of torture. Finally, it requests information on U.S. government actions to ensure the release of its citizens or residents detained in El Salvador and to protect them from unlawful removal.
