Trump administration deportation of migrants from Guantánamo Bay
The Trump administration has flown all migrants held in Guantánamo Bay out of the facility, with most being deported to Venezuela and one sent to a U.S. detention facility. The administration plans to send more immigrants to Guantánamo as a 'staging area' to get migrants to other countries, but is considering alternative locations. Lawyers are challenging the administration's handling of detainees' rights in Guantánamo.
