The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit to block the transfer of migrants to Guantanamo Bay, alleging that the detention center’s conditions are “degrading.” The lawsuit claims that these conditions violate U.S. immigration law and pose significant health risks to detainees.
According to reports, migrants at Guantanamo face harsh treatment, including isolation and physical abuse. Some have even attempted suicide as a result of their confinement. The ACLU is seeking to prevent the transfer of new migrants to the facility until its conditions improve.
The lawsuit was filed by Ted Hesson, an immigration reporter for Reuters, who reported on the issue.
