The lawsuit, Espinoza Escalona v. Noem, filed by ten migrants with from the ACLU, alleged that the government’s attempt to transfer them to Guantánamo Bay courts dismissed the case after several plaintiffs were deported or chose not to continue. Critics argue that the istration’s actions circumvent due process, with reports of deportations occurring without adequate legal consultation.

While ers view it as a necessary measure to uphold the rule of law, critics see it as a troubling escalation that undermines America’s commitment to human rights and due process. As the debate continues, the world watches closely, questioning the moral com guiding U.S. immigration policy.
