Read the article, he isn't jailed in the US, he's in jail in El Salvador. He has no connection to El Salvador, so he's being incorrectly incarcerated.
His family expected him in Venezuela where he is originally from. However much you might dislike someone in a country illegally, he shouldn't be sent to a random prison in a random country.
Edit: This is the issue with not following due process. He was incorrectly identified as a gang member.
He was sent to the hellhole prison in El Salvador? I heard that is basically like death. Poor guy.
I huess human rights are no longer a thing in the US...
They haven't been for a while now. We have legalized slavery (prisons) and a detention center in Cuba to do illegal things.
It's not just Gitmo, either.

Literally a major black site in the heart of Chicago, one of America's biggest cities.
Not even that! He was declared "clean". It's all so fucked up.
Yeah, I try not to make my posts too long. One person cleared him, but then still was flagged for El Salvador. Sounds like they're not being too careful about how they're processing people, which is just sad and terrifying.
