## Resource

The Newsgirls break a disturbing story about how an American CITIZEN is being held in an El Salvadoran prison under what his lawyer says are false charges. The charges? Extortion of $15. That has landed him in Izalco prison, which is known for its human rights abuses, for 15 years. Where is the Trump administration? Why should every American citizen be concerned? Jose Antonio Figueroa Lopez’s attorney breaks down this urgent case.
