Rights groups are seeking information about President Trump’s plan to establish a massive immigration detention center, by far the country’s largest, at Guantánamo. With immigrants arriving in February 2025 – the first in a proposed 30,000 – the administration is speeding to implement Trump’s executive order, while keeping the public in the dark about the nature, conditions, and terms of their confinement.

In a Freedom of Access to Information (FOIA) request, the Haitian Bridge Alliance, Detention Watch Network, and the Center for Constitutional Rights are targeting all records and communications related to the administration’s criteria for determining who will be sent to Guantánamo, their immigration status, the legal rights and processes they will be afforded, and the provision of food, health care, and other necessities.
