“…to fulfill a campaign pledge to deport millions…, the Trump administration has turned to tactics that have prompted…court challenges across the country & created an atmosphere of fear. …[ICE] agents have detained immigrants & shuttled them out of the country to #Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; #Panama; &, most recently, a dangerous prison in #ElSalvador without hearings, much less opportunities to communicate with #lawyers & relatives.” | ProPublica propublica.org/article/ice-war #law #lawfedi

#DOJ returns to the idea that individual people can raise challenges under #HabeasCorpus.

[not exactly an option for people who are already in an El Salvadorian terrorist detention center!]

#Boasberg compares this to the old #Guantanamo cases, in which the courts were able to review whether a detainee was a member of Al Qaeda even if "they had never even set foot in the United States"

What we are seeing now isn't just the brutal collapse of a #democracy that was well-functionning before #trump's election. It's actually been slowly but surely collapsing for ages, pretty much since #GWBushJr introduced the legal horror called the #patriotact, which has never been rescinded, not even by #democrats. If #Guantanamo is now considered for detention of so-called illegal #immigrants, it's because it was never dismantled, neither by #Obama, nor by #Biden.

These types of arrests predate the merging of immigration enforcement and national security. When noncitizens enter the US, they’re screened for inadmissibility: reasons they may be excluded from the country. Permanent residents returning to the US aren’t regarded as “seeking admission,” meaning they aren’t subject to the grounds of inadmissibility. But permanent residents with certain offenses on their record — including so-called “crimes of moral turpitude,” which have been grounds for inadmissibility since 1891 despite never having been defined by Congress — are screened for inadmissibility. In other words, Schmidt’s old marijuana charge may have made him inadmissible despite his permanent residency.

We need every member of #Congress to hear loud and clear that we will not allow our country to take this shameful step backward. Tell Congress: Block funding for #Guantánamo #immigrant detention. click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgTell Congress: Don’t fund Trump’s Guantánamo Bay immigrant prison! Details are still emerging, but Trump and his allies are quickly working to revive Guantánamo’s shameful legacy with an unprecedented effort to imprison tens of thousands of people on the island. The New York Times reports that migrants are already being housed in the same prison that once held individuals accused of being members of Al Qaeda. The very idea that facilities synonymous with torture could be used to detain people fleeing incredible violence and political instability is abhorrent. The potential for trauma, corruption, and human rights violations is sky-high. This plan is more than cruel and likely illegal. It will also be extraordinarily expensive. Maintaining Guantánamo already costs hundreds of millions of dollars per year, and expanding it to imprison immigrants would likely cost taxpayers hundreds of millions more. Every lawmaker who claims to care about “fiscal responsibility” or “American values” should be outraged -- that’s why, with your help, we’ll make enough noise to turn outrage into action. Right now, as Congress puts the final touches on a bill to keep the government open past March 14, we have a critical and urgent opportunity to push them to deny ANY money to pay for immigration detention at Guantánamo Bay. To members of the 119th House of Representatives: Taxpayer dollars should not be used to expand or support immigrant detention. I urge you to take immediate action to refuse and block funding for the detention of immigrants at Guantánamo Bay.

B/c 'prior restraint'? No Standing? Because they arent @ #gitmo yet? Is that actually a valid legal ruling?

'He noted that no detainees are currently being held at the facility in Cuba that has been used to house military prisoners, including several involved in the 9/11 attacks. Because of that, the harm the challengers alleged is neither “imminent” nor “irreparable” he said..."

"Trump administration empties #Guantánamo of #migrants, flies all back to US [suggested to LA] Further questions were referred to ICE, which did not respond to requests for comment from The Hill. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not comment....In the end, 195 tents were set up at the base but were never used."
