The Trump administration's policy to send migrants to Guantanamo Bay for immigration detention has faced a legal challenge from human rights organizations, led by the ACLU. The lawsuit seeks to block the transfer of ten migrants who are facing removal orders from various countries, asserting that they are not gang members, contradicting government claims of them being dangerous. The complaint aims to halt this policy, raising complex legal issues regarding the treatment and justification of such transfers to the military base, and possibly paving the way for further actions against this policy.
The plaintiffs, led by the American Civil Liberties Union, are seeking a judicial stay to block the transfer of 10 migrants to Guantanamo Bay, claiming such moves are cruel and illegal.
The lawsuit asserts that none of the 10 migrants are gang members, countering the government's claim that they are 'the worst of the worst' criminals.
The new lawsuit raises many novel legal issues regarding the Trump administration's policy of detaining migrants at Guantanamo and seeks potential broader orders against this transfer policy.
Offering justification for the transfers, the government has alleged that those sent to Guantanamo are dangerous criminals, but the lawsuit indicates that this characterization is misleading.
