#DOJ returns to the idea that individual people can raise challenges under #HabeasCorpus.

[not exactly an option for people who are already in an El Salvadorian terrorist detention center!]

#Boasberg compares this to the old #Guantanamo cases, in which the courts were able to review whether a detainee was a member of Al Qaeda even if "they had never even set foot in the United States"

What we are seeing now isn't just the brutal collapse of a #democracy that was well-functionning before #trump's election. It's actually been slowly but surely collapsing for ages, pretty much since #GWBushJr introduced the legal horror called the #patriotact, which has never been rescinded, not even by #democrats. If #Guantanamo is now considered for detention of so-called illegal #immigrants, it's because it was never dismantled, neither by #Obama, nor by #Biden.

These types of arrests predate the merging of immigration enforcement and national security. When noncitizens enter the US, they’re screened for inadmissibility: reasons they may be excluded from the country. Permanent residents returning to the US aren’t regarded as “seeking admission,” meaning they aren’t subject to the grounds of inadmissibility. But permanent residents with certain offenses on their record — including so-called “crimes of moral turpitude,” which have been grounds for inadmissibility since 1891 despite never having been defined by Congress — are screened for inadmissibility. In other words, Schmidt’s old marijuana charge may have made him inadmissible despite his permanent residency.

The #Trump admin has abruptly cleared out a 2nd group of migrants it brought to the American military base at #Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, returning to the #UnitedStates 40 men it had flown there in the past few weeks.

The move comes days before a Federal District Court judge in Washington is set to hear a major challenge to aspects of the policy.
A court filing described strip searches & the use of restraint chairs on some of the 290 migrants.

"We refuse to stay silent. We refuse to let others be swallowed by the same nightmare we endured. No one deserves to be thrown into a system built to erase them. We will not stop speaking. We will not stop fighting. We will not let Guantanamo’s horrors be repeated."

The #Guantanamo Bay naval base is seen as a constant threat to Cuba’s sovereignty. Speakers at the rally pointed out that it has been used to plan coups and counter-revolutionary activity ever since 1959. Now that the current US government is taking an even more aggressive stance towards the island, there are fears that such activities at the base could intensify.

Cubans rallied in #Guantanamo to call for the removal of the US’ torture camp. Its naval base is located on land that was stolen from #cuba.
Local communist party leaders condemned Trump’s plans to deport migrants to the camp in violation of their human rights.

#CharacteristicsOfFascism

2. Disdain for the Recognition of #HumanRights
"Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of 'need.' The people tend to look the other way or even approve of #torture, summary executions, assassinations, and long incarcerations of #prisoners.

'The confinement is unbearable': #Migrants describe being held at #Guantanamo

Two of the 170 migrants recently held there describe the conditions on the base.

By Laura Romero, February 28, 2025

"When Jose, a Venezuelan migrant who was seeking #asylum in the United States, was awoken by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official at 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 8, he sensed he was being sent to #GuantanamoBay, home of the notorious U.S. #PrisonCamp that administration officials said would house the most violent 'worst of the worst' migrants apprehended on American soil.

"'When we got on the [military] plane, they put restraints on our hands, feet, and waist,' said Jose, who requested that his last name not be used out of fear of retribution. 'They searched us and then sat us in a chair, tying us to it and binding our feet together. We hoped it wouldn't be Guantanamo but in the end, that's where we ended up.'

"Jose is one of the more than 170 migrants who spent two weeks at the naval base before being sent to #Venezuela. He told ABC News that while he had a suspicion he was being sent to Guantanamo, he claims U.S. officials never told him and the other migrants where they were being sent.

"'Our minds were racing, thinking we were kidnapped, wondering who would get us out of there,' said Jose. 'Because no one tells you anything.'

"Jose told ABC News that he had traveled to Mexico's northern border to wait for an asylum appointment that he requested through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection app, prior to it being shut down by the #Trump administration. After three weeks of waiting and 'no food or a place to stay,' he decided to surrender to authorities at the U.S. southern border. He was detained at a detention center until he was transferred to Guantanamo."

That was the public message. But in response to a lawsuit, the #Trump admin later conceded that ~30% of the Venezuelan migrants sent to #Guantánamo were considered "low-threat illegal aliens," & did not have serious #criminal records.

The WH portrays its crackdown on illegal #immigration as an unqualified success. But critics worry that its high-profile removal flights & arrests…may be prioritizing #optics ahead of results, playing into longstanding misperceptions about immigrants & crime.
