Lawyers sue to block Trump administration from sending 10 migrants to Guantanamo Bay

Civil rights attorneys sued the Trump administration to stop the transfer of 10 migrants to Guantanamo Bay, calling it an emergency filing to halt imminent transfers and challenge the plans.
They argued that transferring migrants violates their right to due legal process under the Fifth Amendment and legal authority under federal immigration law.
The lawsuit is backed by the American Civil Liberties Union and aims to stop the men from being sent to a facility described as inhumane.
The U.S. Government disputes these claims and supports the expansion of operations at Guantanamo Bay, which has been described as a location for high-risk criminals.
