UPDATE: Last night, a federal court granted the request of three men in immigration detention for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to prevent the Trump administration from sending them to Guantánamo.
“I fear being taken to Guantánamo because the news is painting it as a black hole... I also see that human rights are constantly violated at Guantánamo, so I fear what could happen to me if I get taken there,” said petitioner Abrahan Barrios Morales.

The men, who have a pending case before the court challenging their unlawfully prolonged detention, are migrants who fled Venezuela seeking protection in the U.S. A motion filed on their behalf says they face a risk of imminent transfer to the island prison.
