US judge blocks transfer of Venezuelan migrants to Guantánamo (www.jurist.org)

A federal judge in New Mexico granted a temporary restraining order to block the US government from transferring three detained Venezuelan migrants to Guantánamo Bay on Sunday. The three men, currently being held in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility, filed the restraining order earlier that day. Their request claims the risk of a transfer was imminent, given the petitioners match “the profile of the individuals who have already been transferred to Guantánamo.”

In a Monday press release, CRR attorney Jessica Vosburgh said “[o]ur clients refuse to be used as pawns in this twisted game of punishment theater.” CCR’s legal director Baher Azmy called the judge’s ruling a “small but important win for clients otherwise bound to the latest iteration of a legal black hole.”

I agree and what a good way to put it. Doesn't matter the crime - it's definitely cruel and unusual punishment to use the bureaucracy of our legal system as punishment
