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.
In interviews, they said Trump administration authorities had refused to grant their requests for access to the detainees or to even identify them; the federal government is also refusing to provide basic information, such as exactly how many people have been deported to the island prison since President Donald Trump took office.
