Protesters rallied against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding the transfer of migrants to Guantanamo Bay, a controversial decision by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Internal records revealed that many transferred individuals are labeled 'low risk' with no serious convictions. Civil rights advocates criticize the transfer, arguing it circumvents constitutional protections. They filed a lawsuit for more transparency and legal access for the detainees. The transfer coincides with the Trump administration's broader crackdown on immigration enforcement.
Zoe Bowman, a supervising attorney at Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, said it appears that most of the people were detained at ICE facilities in New Mexico after surrendering or applying for asylum at the border.
Immigration attorneys say the facts on the ground do not support Noem's official narrative about what's going on at Guantánamo Bay, where President Donald Trump has ordered the construction of a tent city to detain up to 30,000 migrants.
