U.S. immigration and military authorities say that immigrants from 27 countries were being held at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba, while revealing new details of conditions of confinement and defending the government’s authority to transfer and hold immigrants to the military base.

Civil rights attorneys are suing the Trump administration to prevent it from transferring 10 migrants detained in the U.S. to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Civil rights attorneys have sued the Trump administration to gain access to detained migrants who they say have been flown to Guantanamo Bay and held there without being able to consult lawyers or speak to relatives.

The U.S. government has withdrawn from settlement negotiations to end lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who were forcibly separated under the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance border policy.

Migrants whose children were taken from them under former President Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance border policy have not reached a settlement agreement with the U.S. government.

A court-appointed committee has yet to find the parents of 628 children separated at the border early in the Trump administration. The committee has found other family members for 168 of the 628 children whose parents have yet to be located. The search committee said it is too early to know how useful the additional phone numbers will be in finding more parents. The ACLU wants Biden to allow separated families to return to the United States to be given “some kind of legal status,” Gelernt said. "We will find the families but we cannot provide the families with the right to return to the United States and give legal status.

Hundreds of immigrant parents who separated from their children have not been located. On Tuesday, those lawyers submitted a court filing with a grim update: They have not yet been able to reach the parents of 545 separated children. Of the parents of 545 separated children who have not yet been contacted, lawyers expect 75 will be reachable by phone. The suspicion and trauma common among separated parents — who are no easier to locate these days — has made it difficult to replicate efforts online. For months, as outbreaks of COVID-19 exploded worldwide, hundreds of parents and children continued to remained apart — now in quarantine.
