The Hidden Truth Behind Deportation: What’s Happening to Women and Children?

So, where are all the women and children in these deportation stories? Because if you’ve been watching the news, you’ve probably noticed a lot of men getting their heads shaved, shackled, and sent off to that notorious prison in El Salvador. But what about the women? Where are they? And what’s really going on behind the scenes?

I decided to dig a little deeper—and what I found isn’t pretty. Turns out, the authorities tried to send women to that same El Salvador prison—yes, you heard that correctly. But after some of them were sent back, they came forward with some truly disturbing details about their treatment.

These women were lied to about their destination. They were told they were headed to Venezuela, not a prison. But that’s just the beginning of the story. They claimed they were forced to sign documents they didn’t want to sign—documents that seemed to force them to admit to being gang members, a move that would justify deportation under the Alien Enemies Act. Coercion, anyone?

And here’s the kicker: 90% of the migrants already sent to El Salvador had no criminal record in the U.S., despite the government continuing to label them all as dangerous gang members. Interesting, right?

But it gets even darker. Where are most of the women and children being sent? It’s a place called Detention Alley, a stretch of land between Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, housing some of the largest and most remote immigration detention centers in the country. Sounds like a nightmare, huh?

And here’s the real kicker: Why aren’t we hearing their stories?

Why is the narrative focused only on the men? Why isn’t anyone talking about the women and children? The silence is deafening. Let’s talk about this, because these stories matter just as much as any other.
