Court grants request to block detained Venezuelan immigrants from being sent to Guantanamo

A federal court temporarily blocked the transfer of three Venezuelan men from a detention center in New Mexico to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, amid federal efforts to expand immigrant detention there.
The petitioners filed a motion on February 9, seeking to prevent their possible transfer, as they have a pending court case challenging their detention.
The court noted 'uncertainty surrounding jurisdiction' regarding their case and cited concerns about prison conditions at Guantanamo Bay.
Baher Azmy from the Center for Constitutional Rights called the court's order a 'small but important win' for the detainees.
