The Trump administration’s efforts to deport migrants held in Guantanamo Bay have few protections, according to a federal judge in the United States.
District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston issued a ruling on Thursday, saying that the government must allow immigrants to voice concerns about the safety of the nations they are deported.
The decision is the most recent development in concerns about Trump’s expansive interpretations of executive power and immigration law.
The decision is a victory for immigrant rights advocates who claimed that the administration had flown four Venezuelans to El Salvador from the US military base in Cuba in violation of a previous court order. However, it is still to be seen how the White House will respond.
The administration argued that the order only applied to the DHS, not the DHS, which was in charge of the flight.
The Tren De Aragua gang has frequently made similar claims with little supporting evidence, despite the Department of Justice’s assertion that three of the four Venezuelans who have been sent to El Salvador belong to the administration, which has frequently accused them of being held in Salvadoran prisons, where abuse and torture are frequently alleged.
In extreme isolation and without legal counsel, according to immigrant rights organizations, migrants are being held in Guantanamo Bay, which was previously a detention facility and torture site during the so-called “global war on terror.”
A lawsuit brought on behalf of two Nicaraguans being held in Guantanamo states claims that “officers at Guantanamo have created a climate of extreme fear and intimidation where immigrant detainees are afraid to communicate freely with their counsel.”
