Neiyerver Rengel's enforced disappearance in Texas mirrors historic cases of authoritarian regimes in Latin America. Captured by government agents, Rengel was taken to a detention center known for torture and inhumane conditions, leaving his family distressed. This incident, occurring under the Trump administration, has drawn parallels to past political repression, raising alarms about the treatment of Venezuelan migrants. Activists, like Juanita Goebertus from Human Rights Watch, call for attention to these detentions, categorizing them as forced disappearances under international law, further highlighting the dangers facing vulnerable populations in the U.S.
Neiyerver Rengel's case exemplifies fears about enforced disappearances in the US under an administration alleged to promote authoritarian practices against marginalized migrant communities.
Human Rights Watch's Juanita Goebertus labeled the detentions of Venezuelan migrants as enforced disappearances, criticizing a lack of accountability under international law.
