Ten migrants slated to be moved to a prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, have sued the Trump administration, arguing that a transfer to the faraway detention center rife with allegations of abuse is unnecessary and illegal. Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union sued the Department of Homeland Security, agency secretary Kristi Noem and officials for Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the weekend.

“Plaintiffs do not challenge the government’s authority to detain them on U.S. soil or to directly remove them to their home country or another statutorily authorized country,” the ACLU says in the suit.

“What they challenge is the government’s unprecedented and unlawful decision to transfer and detain them at Guantánamo, which under the [Immigration and Nationality Act] is Cuba. That is per se illegal, even apart from the horrific detention conditions and the lack of meaningful access to counsel or the outside world.”

Now the clock is ticking: The government has promised not to transfer the migrants only through March 17, according to court records. All 10 migrants are currently being held at immigration processing or detention centers in Texas, Arizona or Virginia. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols in Washington, D.C. has ordered the government to respond to the lawsuit no later than March 10, ahead of a hearing in his courtroom on March 14.

It's almost like this is a treasonous occupation regime being operated from Moscow! Wowzers!
