ACLU lawsuit seeks access to migrants sent to Guantanamo Bay

The ACLU filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to access migrants detained at Guantanamo Bay, claiming they are held without legal counsel or family contact.
More than 50 migrants were transferred to Guantanamo this month, with the lawsuit stating they have 'effectively disappeared into a black box.'
The lawsuit includes relatives of three Venezuelan immigrants and accuses U.S. Officials of violating their constitutional rights, seeking court orders for access and information about the detainees.
Lee Gelernt, an ACLU attorney, stated that sending immigrants to Guantanamo without access to lawyers or family sends a message that 'the rule of law means nothing to' the Trump administration.
