A coalition of animal rights and expat advocacy groups filed a lawsuit on Saturday to bring the Trump administration’s plan of sending refugees to the US military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for continued emigration confinement.
According to the newly filed problem,” Defendants seek this court’s action to put a stop to these violent, unnecessary, and improper transfers to and confinement at Guantanamo.” For the time being, the defendants, led by the American Civil Liberties Union, are asking for a criminal be to stop the coalition’s signing of 10 workers. However, it appears to lay the groundwork for a possible broader order to be made against the exchange policy, which has raised a number of fascinating legal issues.
According to the lawsuit, the 10 workers who are named in the petition have last removal requests and arrive from nations like Venezuela, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. None of the defendants are alleged to be crew members, and some have been particularly threatened with deportation to Guantanamo. The government made the claim in an attempt to defend the payments that the government had identified as the “worst of the worst” when it claimed that the people it sent to Guantanamo were users of gangs and dangerous criminals, citing a statement made in January by security secretary Pete Hegseth. That description is plainly false, it continued. Additionally, because the government lacks legal authority to send any emigration detainees from the US to Guantanamo, it is legally useless. A request for comment was not instantly received by the justice office.
