Immigrants' Legal Victory Temporarily Blocks Transfer to Guantanamo

Three Venezuelan immigrants secured a restraining order against the federal government to stop their transfer to Guantanamo Bay. However, court documents reveal they were deported to Venezuela this week on direct flights.

The deportations occurred the day after a temporary order was approved by a federal judge to block their transfer under President Trump's immigration measures.

Lawyers argue their clients face grave threats due to baseless allegations of gang ties. Meanwhile, immigrant rights groups are challenging the lack of legal access for those sent to Guantanamo Bay.
