ACLU sues to block migrant transfers to Guantanamo

Дата публикации: 01-03-2025 22:21:33

WASHINGTON — A U.S. civil rights group sued Saturday to block the Trump administration from potentially transferring 10 migrants from the U.S. to a naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detailing harsh conditions and suicide attempts among migrants held there. 
The American Civil Liberties Union, which filed the lawsuit in federal court in Washington, said the transfers violate U.S. immigration law by moving the detainees outside of the country and aim to stoke fear without a legitimate rationale. 
The 10 detainees in the lawsuit are men from Venezuela, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan with final deportation orders, including some who have been threatened with transfer to Guantanamo, the ACLU said. The men, currently held in Texas, Arizona and Virginia, are not gang members or high-risk criminals, the ACLU said.  
President Donald Trump has vowed to deport record numbers of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally. As part of the efforts to expand deportations, the administration in early February began sending migrants to a detention camp on the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, best known for holding foreign terrorism suspects. 
Cuban and Haitian migrants intercepted at sea have been held at a migrant facility on the base in previous decades. However, the Trump administration effort was the first to transfer migrants there from the U.S., according to the ACLU. 
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has said they are sending "the worst of the worst" to Guantanamo, but about a third of the initial group of 177 Venezuelans had no criminal record, according to the department. 
The ACLU lawsuit alleges that migrants detained at Guantanamo have been held in windowless rooms for at least 23 hours a day, been subjected to invasive strip searches, and are unable to contact family members. 
The suit said that guards "engage in verbal and physical abuse," including strapping detainees to a chair, withholding water, threatening to shoot detainees, and fracturing one person's hand. 
"These degrading conditions and extreme isolation have led to several suicide attempts," the complaint said. 
A federal judge blocked the possible transfer of several Venezuelan migrants to Guantanamo in mid-February but the men — also represented by the ACLU — were then deported to Venezuela. 
In a separate lawsuit filed Friday, immigrant rights organizations and others sued to block Trump's moves to end former President Joe Biden's immigration parole programs that allowed hundreds of thousands of people with U.S. sponsors or fleeing danger to enter legally. 
The lawsuit, filed in a Massachusetts federal court, argues the administration failed to follow proper regulatory steps when it abruptly ended programs for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans and Ukrainians with U.S. sponsors, as well as a program for Afghans who fled the Taliban takeover.
