The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration regarding the lack of access to legal services for migrants transferred to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, from the United States. The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, seeks immediate in-person, video, and telephone access to migrant detainees.
Last week, the Trump administration initiated the transportation of migrants to the naval base on US military aircraft, a move that has raised concerns among immigrant advocates. The ACLU, along with family members of the detainees and legal organizations, is pushing for access to offer representation to the migrants.
