A federal court has blocked the Trump administration from sending three Venezuelan immigrants held in New Mexico to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base as part of the president’s immigration crackdown. The detainees were accused of false charges of connections with the Tren de Aragua gang. The Center for Constitutional Rights, the ACLU of New Mexico, and Las Americas Immigrant Advisory Center filed a lawsuit on behalf of the men to block their transfer. Homeland Security Secretary mentioned that flights of detainees had landed at Guantanamo, raising concerns from immigrant rights groups about access and the use of the base as a “legal black hole.”
White House Press Secretary stated that over 8,000 people have been arrested in immigration enforcement actions since Trump’s inauguration on January 20th. The administration has vowed to deport millions of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. This move to potentially transport migrants to Guantanamo Bay daily has sparked controversy and legal challenges. The temporary restraining order granted by a U.S. District Court in New Mexico has prevented the transfer of the three Venezuelan immigrants for now. The case will be further reviewed in the coming weeks to determine the legality of such actions.
