The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has formally requested immediate access to nearly two dozen migrants who were recently transferred from immigration detention centers to the US Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba. The request was made in a letter addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The ACLU's letter raises concerns regarding the detainees' legal rights, living conditions, and access to due process. It emphasizes that both the Constitution and federal and international laws prohibit the government from using Guantánamo as a legal black hole.
