ACLU Sues Trump Administration Over Migrant Transfers to Guantanamo Bay

The lawsuit challenges the legality of relocating detainees outside U.S. borders, citing harsh conditions and constitutional violations.

The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit to prevent the transfer of 10 migrants from U.S. detention centers to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The suit claims the transfers violate federal immigration law, the Administrative Procedure Act, and the Fifth Amendment's due process protections.
Migrants at Guantanamo have reportedly faced inhumane conditions, including isolation, physical abuse, and limited access to legal counsel or family communication.
The Trump administration plans to use Guantanamo to house up to 30,000 migrants, marking the first time non-citizens detained on civil immigration charges are sent there.
Advocacy groups argue the transfers are unnecessary, costly, and lack a legitimate rationale, as ample detention capacity exists within the U.S.
