Judge rules against advocates trying to help migrants sent to Guantanamo and to stop more transfers

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — A federal judge ruled Friday against immigration and civil rights advocates attempting to help migrants who had been sent to the Guantanamo Bay military base — and trying to prevent further transfers — days after the Trump administration transferred all migrants out of the facility in Cuba. U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols refused to preemptively block a transfer of 10 migrants to the military base, and rejected a separate claim that migrants held at Guantanamo deserved access to attorneys. The judge’s ruling in a Washington courtroom largely hinged on the fact that at the current time, there are no migrant detainees being held at the military base, which Nichols said undercut legal arguments that migrants being kept there or sent there would suffer irreparable harm. In the second case, lawyers representing ten migrants sued, saying they fit a profile of people the government had already sent to Guantanamo and asking the judge to prevent them from being held there.
