WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Several U.S. Democratic senators introduced a resolution on Thursday to potentially compel a State Department review of human rights issues in El Salvador, particularly concerning the imprisonment of men deported in recent weeks from the U.S.

The resolution calls for a review of human rights in El Salvador, focusing on conditions at a maximum-security prison where migrants deported from the U.S. are being held and potentially having an impact on future U.S. security assistance to the Central American nation.
