‘Overnight, a federal judge in New Mexico temporarily blocked an attempt by the federal government to deport three Venezuelan migrants to Guantanamo Bay over concerns that there is significant uncertainty over the lack of legal process for migrants who are taken to the facility.
Earlier on Sunday, the Center for Constitutional Rights filed an emergency request with a federal court in New Mexico seeking a temporary restraining order to block the transfer of three Venezuelan migrants currently being held at a detention facility in New Mexico to Guantanamo Bay.
The filing noted that the detainees “fit the profile of those the administration has prioritized for detention in Guantanamo, i.e. Venezuelan men detained in the El Paso area with (false) charges of connections with the Tren de Aragua gang.”
The attorneys for the men further noted that they "have a pending case before the court challenging their unlawfully prolonged detention," and warned of the possibility of immediate transfer to the island prison facility.

Right now, many legal experts argue that by sending individuals to Guantanamo Bay, the federal government is sending them into a legal blackhole, with little information about their right to counsel or due process access. As a result, federal judges like the one in New Mexico are becoming increasingly concerned about the Trump Administration's use of the island facility.’
Very good.
