Relatives of three Venezuelan migrants said they were sent to Guantanamo and have not been able to communicate with them for several days. The New York Times published the names of 53 migrants, allegedly all Venezuelans, who are detained in that jail. Until recently, men appeared as retained by the United States Immigration and Customs Control Service
A group of organizations that represents relatives of three Venezuelan migrants sent to the Naval Base of Guantanamo, in Cuba, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in which they ask for access to the detainees.
Humanitarian organizations denounced that these migrants are incommunicado and urged to guarantee access to information on detention conditions and due process for those affected.
The lawsuit, which includes the sister of one of the detainees, was filed by the US Union for Civil Libertads (ACLU) and the Center for Constitutional Rights, among other groups, reported on Wednesday.
The complaint mentions Eucaris Carolina Gómez Lugo, who learned of his brother’s arrest after seeing a photograph published by the US government.
The authorities have alleged that some of the detainees are members of the Transnational Train Organization of Aragua, but relatives of Venezuelans have denied it.
The DHS criticized the demand and has said that in the naval base there is a system to use the phones and contact lawyers.
“If the Union of American civil liberties is more interested in highly dangerous criminal migrants than in American citizens, the names of the agency, said the agency spokeswoman, Tricia McLaughlin, in an email to the agency EFE.
Relatives of three migrants – two of them included in the lawsuit – assured that they were sent to Guantanamo and have not been able to communicate with them for several days.
These migrants were not arrested in the streets, but were already in a custody in a detention center in Texas, some for more than five months, contradicting the version of the government that indicates that they were taken from the streets of the US.
Who are the Venezuelans detained?
According to civil rights lawyers, the Trump administration has not provided details about migrants arrested in Guantanamo, such as the duration of their seclusion, the legal framework that justifies their detention and the conditions in which they remain.
The US has sent at least a hundred migrants to Guantanamo and all of them are Venezuelans, according to CBS News. The Government has not detailed about the identity of these people, but the Secretary of National Security (DHS), Kristi Noem, has said they are members of the Aragua train.
