Two men deported to Equatorial Guinea by the Trump administration were reportedly hooded, beaten, and arrested at a hotel serving as a de facto prison. Witnesses and lawyers claim the abuse was to prevent them from exposing deteriorating conditions and violence. Equatorial Guinea is a partner in the U.S. deportation program despite its human rights record.
