Just three noncitizens were being detained at Guantánamo Bay facilities earlier this month, the Trump administration told a federal judge, but the American Civil Liberties Union disputed its assertions about how long people have been held there and their ability to correspond with attorneys.
The Trump administration is still making it difficult for immigrants detained at Guantanamo Bay to access attorneys, including by denying in-person attorney visits and missing scheduled attorney-client phone calls, two detainees alleged in an amended suit filed Friday in D.C. federal court.
The federal government told a D.C. federal judge that all 178 of the immigrants who were transferred to Guantanamo Bay have been removed from the island naval base, saying most of those detained were repatriated to Venezuela.
The U.S. government urged a D.C. federal judge to reject a request from the ACLU and other advocates to give unauthorized immigrants held at Guantanamo in-person access to lawyers, saying Thursday that the detainees have the ability to speak to attorneys by telephone.
The Trump administration has transported dozens of immigrants to Guantanamo and is now holding them "incommunicado" without access to attorneys, family members, or the outside world, a group of immigrants' rights advocates said in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in D.C. federal court.
