Venezuelan Deportee Files Complaint Against US, Seeking Damages

A Venezuelan man named Neiyerver Rengel has filed a formal complaint against the U.S. government.

He claims he was wrongly kicked out of the U.S. and sent to a dangerous prison in El Salvador.

He's asking for money to cover the harm he says he suffered.

The government has accused him of being in a gang.

This complaint is the first of its kind from a group of Venezuelans who were deported by the Trump administration.

The man says he was falsely accused, held in a harsh prison, and suffered mistreatment.

The government now has six months to respond to his complaint.

If they deny it, he might then sue in court.
