Trump "disappearing" immigrants at Gitmo

The Trump administration has whisked away at least a hundred Venezuelan immigrants to the notorious Guantanamo Bay Naval Base detention camp, where they are in the custody of military guards and completely isolated from the outside world — a blatant violation of their civil rights, according to lawyers and advocates who spoke to Salon.
