A coalition of immigrant rights and legal aid organizations, led by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration alleging that migrants transferred to the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay are being held without access to legal counsel or communication with the outside world.
The lawsuit contends that the administration has transferred dozens of migrants to the remote military facility, effectively holding them "incommunicado, without access to attorneys, family, or the outside world." The lawsuit seeks, at a minimum, to allow attorneys to communicate with the detainees via phone, video conference, or email.
