A federal court has intervened to prevent the Trump administration from sending three Venezuelan immigrants detained in New Mexico to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba as part of the president's immigration crackdown. The court issued a temporary restraining order to halt the transfer, citing concerns about the detainees' legal rights and access to counsel.
The legal filing by the detainees' lawyers highlighted that the men were being targeted for potential detention in Guantanamo due to alleged connections with the Tren de Aragua gang, a criminal group that originated in Venezuela. The court's decision to block the transfer was made during a brief hearing, with the judge granting the temporary order despite opposition from the government.
