Salo have challenged the US plans of the Trump government to send up to 9,000 irregular migrants in Guantanamo, Cuba. The decision is expected to be implemented immediately, starting this week. The information was published by the Washington Post and Politico.

US officials stated that foreigners examined for transfer to the center include immigrants from Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Haiti, Ireland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Turkey and Ukraine.

Since February, the US has kept about 500 immigrants to Guantanamo, but sources knowing the transfer said the center is preparing for medical examinations for 9,000 people to determine if they are healthy enough to be sent there.

Guantanamo gained a poor reputation after the September 11, 2001 attack in the US, when a large number of suspects for terrorism were sent after their arrest by the US military, where they were allegedly tortured.

President Donald Trump announced in January that he was planning to use the detention center to transport irregular immigrants. Transfers could start on Wednesday, with the plan to be temporarily accommodated in Guantanamo Gulf before deported to their countries of origin.

This move is part of the suppression of illegal immigration by the president, with the Ice and Customs Service seeking to secure more arrests and deportations of irregular migrants.

“Under the leadership of President Trump, we seek to set at least 3,000 arrests for Ice every day,” White House Deputy Chief Steven Miller told Fox News last month, adding that the US government was planning to increase these numbers.

The majority of transport comes from US -friendly and European nations, which He has worried some American diplomatsand some US Foreign Ministry officials dealing with European issues allegedly trying to persuade the Ministry of Homeland Security to abandon the plan.

The US Association of Political Liberties (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit aimed at preventing the government from transferring prisoners to Guantanamo. This case is pending.

‘Defendants use the threat of detention in Guantanamo to scare immigrants, To prevent future immigration, to cause self -evidence and to force people who are in custody to resign from the deportation and to accept the expulsion elsewhere, ” ACLU lawyers said in a statement.
