Three migrants win temporary block from potential transfer to Guantanamo

NPR  

Three migrants win temporary block from potential transfer to Guantanamo toggle caption Alex Brandon/AP file photo A federal court in New Mexico preemptively blocked the Trump administration from sending three Venezuelan men to Guantanamo Bay. Three Venezuelan men in the custody of federal immigration officials in New Mexico submitted a motion seeking a temporary restraining order to block their transfer to Guantanamo Bay because they "fit precisely the profile" of people who had already been transferred and feared such a transfer would be imminent, according to court documents. Trump's plan to send 30,000 migrants to the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, facilitated by a memo, is likely to face additional legal, logistical, and political challenges. The U.S. flew the first migrants to a temporary housing facility there last week, and U.S. officials said they would be held separately from the U.S. military prison, which houses suspected foreign terrorists, including alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
