Civil rights attorneys have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to prevent the transfer of undocumented immigrants from the United States to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba

Civil rights attorneys sued the Trump administration Saturday to prevent it from transferring 10 migrants detained in the U.S. to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, their second legal challenge in less than a month over plans for holding up to 30,

The lawsuit says there is no legitimate reason to send migrants to Guantánamo because the U.S. has ample detention facility.

A U.S. civil rights group on Saturday sued to block the Trump administration from potentially transferring 10 migrants from the U.S. to a naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detailing harsh conditions and suicide attempts among migrants held there.

The new case, which for now is asking for a court to block the transfer of 10 men to the offshore base, is the first to directly challenge the policy.

On Feb. 7, he and other Venezuelan men in ICE detention in El Paso were awakened and told they were going back to Venezuela, Purroy Roldan said. They were transported to Miami and put aboard a military plane – and realized they were actually going to Guantanamo.

Attorneys filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration Saturday to halt the transfer of 10 migrants detained in the U.S. to Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. This marks their second legal challenge in under a month against plans to use the facility for large-scale immigrant detention before deportation.
