A resolution requesting information on the Republic of El Salvador's human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

This Senate resolution asks the Secretary of State to send Congress's foreign affairs committees a statement on El Salvador's human rights practices within 30 days after the resolution is adopted. The statement would be prepared with the State Department's human rights bureau and its legal office. It should include information on alleged abuses by El Salvador's government, such as arbitrary detention, torture, and denial of due process, including of non-citizens the United States removed to El Salvador. It should also describe U.S. actions, agreements, payments, and assurances related to those removals, and whether U.S. security assistance could support their detention.
