At the notorious CECOT prison, he was forced to frog-march, had to kneel from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., and was subjected to beatings and threats, his lawyers said Wednesday.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia says said he was kicked and hit so often after arrival that by the following day, he had visible bruises and lumps all over his body.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was made to kneel overnight, denied bathroom access and confined in an overcrowded cell with bright lights and no windows, his lawyers say.
