Deportation of Venezuelan Migrants from Guantanamo Bay
In a significant development, the Trump administration has evacuated all immigrant detainees from Guantanamo Bay, specifically targeting Venezuelan migrants. Nearly 200 individuals, initially detained as part of a crackdown, have been flown back to Venezuela, with some flights making layovers in Honduras. The move follows legal challenges and controversies surrounding the treatment of these migrants, with claims of intentional cruelty and questions about their legal rights. Venezuelan officials have expressed skepticism regarding U.S. assertions that some deportees were involved in criminal activities. The recent transfers mark the conclusion of a controversial chapter in the handling of migrants at Guantanamo Bay.
