WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The American Civil Liberties Union on Friday demanded access to migrants flown by the U.S. military to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, saying the Trump administration has provided virtually no information about the migrants and that the detentions raise questions about violations of U.S. and international laws.
The ACLU and 14 other advocacy groups sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling for immediate access to nearly two dozen migrants transferred there this week, including free and unmonitored phone calls and the ability to visit in person.
