U.S. Seeks to Deport FBI Informant Set to Testify in Gang Case
In November 2022, an FBI informant, identified as John Doe, sought refuge in the U.S. after agreeing to testify against MS-13 members in Massachusetts. Despite assurances, he was arrested in El Salvador, imprisoned, and allegedly tortured before being released to the FBI. However, the U.S. government has since revealed his identity, and is now attempting to deport him, despite claims that he faces a death sentence if returned to El Salvador. An immigration judge has temporarily blocked his removal, and the case is ongoing, raising questions about the government’s commitment to protecting informants.
