The #Trump #State Dept has yet to officially release this year’s reports, which cover activities & observations made in 2024. Current & former #US officials say most of this year’s reports were nearly completed when the #Biden admin transitioned out in Jan.
The drafts for #ElSalvador & #Russia are marked “finalized,” while the draft for #Israel is marked “quality check.” All were edited in the last few days, the documents show.
#US diplomats have compiled the #State Dept’s annual #HumanRights reports for almost 50 years. Their findings [were] considered the most thorough & wide-ranging of their kind & [were] routinely relied upon by #courts inside & outside the #UnitedStates.
The human rights reports are congressionally mandated to be sent to lawmakers by the end of February. Public release typically happens in March or April.
…[a senior #State Dept official said,] the #Trump admin would bring a new focus to some issues, including backsliding on *freedom of expression* [being publicly #racist, #heterosexist & #misogynistic w/o backlash] in some countries allied with the #UnitedStates, even as the admin has itself faced criticism on free-speech grounds for seeking to deport foreigners studying in the US who have criticized #Israel’s conduct in #Gaza.
The leaked drafts for #ElSalvador, #Israel & #Russia underscore how the #Trump admin is radically rethinking America’s role in global #HumanRights advocacy. The docs also are consistent w/internal guidance circulated…by #State Dept leaders who advised staff to truncate the reports to the minimum required by statutory guidelines & executive orders signed by Trump, & to remove references to government #corruption, #gender-based #crimes & other abuses the #US govt historically has documented.
The #State Department’s previous report for #ElSalvador, documenting 2023, identified “significant #HumanRights issues” there — including government-sanctioned #killings, instances of #torture, & “harsh & life-threatening #prison conditions.”
Several #Venezuelans whom the #Trump admin sent to [#CECOT] the Salvadoran prison said they were subjected to repeated beatings.
