I see three possible reasons:
He's dead
El Salvador and the US don't want anyone to speak about what's going on in the prison
Trump wants to use this as a test. If he can get away with this, he can get away with sending most anyone.
D) All of the above
Ooooffff, I just had a horrible thought:
During the Holocaust, the Nazis wanted to prove they weren't running death camps, so they invited the Red Cross to visit a fake town they had the Jewish prisoners build and then pretend to run.
He might be alive and possibly even being treated well and the Trump admin selected him and turned him into a firebrand just to "dispel" all the death/work camp "rumors." If they're already taking so many notes from the Nazi playbook, this really could be their attempt to instill complacency in the masses and to give more ammo to the MAGA town criers.
Of course, all of this is just wild speculation, even if based on precedent. If this is all intentional, planned, and they play their cards right, they likely could release him just before or after the Democrat lawmakers visit with him describing how fairly he was treated and that the people charged with his care acknowledged this was all an error while taking care of him. This would provide all the cover they'd need to convince everyone that the "system" works and they're only imprisoning "real criminals." Once political adversaries start getting swooped up, this whole current scenario could be cannon fodder to claim protestors are crying wolf.
I hope I'm completely wrong and that incompetence will be the name of the game. But there are no good scenarios left either way. This shit needs to end.
