Court Blocks Trump Administration's Guantanamo Transfer of Venezuelan Immigrants

A federal court has granted a temporary restraining order to block the transfer of three Venezuelan immigrants detained in New Mexico to Guantanamo Bay, amid concerns over their potential deportation under the Trump administration's immigration policies. The detainees, who have not been formally ordered to be transferred, fear they will be sent to the naval base, where recent reports indicated that other detainees have been flown. Their legal team argues that the men fit the profile of those prioritized for Guantanamo detention, citing vague allegations of connections to the Tren de Aragua gang. Immigrant rights organizations have raised alarms about the lack of transparency and potential human rights violations associated with detentions at Guantanamo, calling it a 'legal black hole.' The Department of Homeland Security has yet to respond to the case, which raises broader questions about the treatment of Venezuelan migrants in the U.S. during this crackdown.
