Federal court blocks Trump administrator from sending detained Venezuelan immigrants to Guantanamo Bay
Federal court issued a temporary restraining order on Sunday to prevent the Trump administration from sending three Venezuelan immigrants to Cuba’s Guantanamo Bay in New Mexico as part of the president’s efforts to evacuate illegal immigrants from the United States
The trio’s lawyer said in legal documents that the detainees “a person who meets the government’s priority in detention in Guantanamo, namely, Venezuelans, were detained in the El Paso area and had links with the Trund Alagua gang. .
In filings, lawyers asked the U.S. District Court in New Mexico to prevent the government from flying it to U.S. military bases. The lawyer noted that “the mere uncertainty of the government’s circumstance of legal processes and the availability of lawyer visits is enough to authorize a moderate injunction.”

Jessica Vosburgh, the lawyer representing three men, said Judge Kenneth Gonzalez approved the interim restraining order.
“This is short-term. This will be re-examined and enriched further in the coming weeks,” Fort Worth told the Associated Press.
The document is part of three lawsuits filed on behalf of the Center for Constitutional Rights, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico and the Las Americas Immigration Advisory Center.

Last week, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said flights carrying detained illegal immigrants had been sent to Guantanamo.
Immigration rights groups sent a letter Friday asking for visits to people now detained at the U.S. Navy station, believing that the base should not be a “legal black hole.” Guantanamo has been criticized for his inhuman abuse and torture by detainees, including trial strategies.
Immigrants were detained in Guantanamo Detention Center, and those detained were established after 9/11. Immigrants are separated from 15 detainees who are already there, including planners in the 2001 terrorist attack.
