<p>Kilmar Abrego Garcia has experienced "severe beatings" and "psychological torture" in a supermax prison in El Salvador after he was deported by the Trump administration, according to a new court filing.</p>
<p>The filing in federal court on Wednesday, July 2, also says that Abrego Garcia experienced "severe sleep deprivation" and nutrition so inadequate that he lost 31 pounds while he was at the Terrorism Confinement Center, also known as CECOT, in Tecoluca, El Salvador.</p>
<p>Abrego Garcia, a native of El Salvador living with legal permission in Beltsville, Maryland, was mistakenly deported and taken to CECOT in March.</p>
<p>The new details from Abrego Garcia's treatment at CECOT come as part of a lawsuit filed by his wife against the Trump administration, which is seeking to have the matter thrown out because he has since been returned to the United States.</p>
<p>An indictment accuses Abrego Garcia of conspiring to bring immigrants into the United States illegally from various Central and South American countries. He has pleaded not guilty.</p>
