Trump Administration Faces Backlash Over Immigrant Transfers to Guantánamo Bay

Critics challenge the lack of evidence for criminal claims as nearly 100 detainees face harsh conditions and restricted rights at the controversial facility.

The Trump administration has transferred approximately 100 immigrants, primarily Venezuelans, to Guantánamo Bay, claiming they are dangerous criminals without providing substantial evidence.
Relatives and advocates report that many detainees have no significant criminal records, with some only guilty of illegal entry into the U.S.
Human rights groups and lawyers have filed lawsuits, citing restricted access to detainees, lack of transparency, and potential violations of constitutional rights.
Detainees are reportedly held in harsh conditions, including isolation and limited communication, at facilities previously used for post-9/11 prisoners.
The move has been criticized as a political strategy to appear tough on immigration, with activists calling the detentions a human rights disaster.
