According to recent court documents, three immigrants who had secured a temporary restraining order preventing their transfer to the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base were deported on Monday, just one day after a federal judge approved the order. Despite the legal protection granted to them, the men were sent directly to Venezuela, highlighting the rapid pace at which deportations are occurring.
This incident comes amid a broader pattern where Venezuelan immigrants are routinely flown from a military base in El Paso, Texas, to Guantanamo Bay as part of a strict immigration enforcement policy. The U.S. government has accused the deported men of having ties to the Tren de Aragua gang—a claim that their lawyers describe as unfounded and dangerous, as it may expose them to significant risks upon their return.
In addition to this specific case, immigrant rights groups are challenging the government in court for failing to provide legal counsel and maintaining communication channels for individuals sent to Guantanamo. This legal battle unfolds against the backdrop of a severe crisis in Venezuela, where millions have fled the economic and political turmoil under President Nicolás Maduro.

“How can a federal judge’s order be ignored so quickly? These immigrants deserve proper protection, not a rushed deportation!”

“Finally, someone is taking a firm stand on immigration enforcement. The law must be upheld, even against potential risks.”
