Guantanamo Bay Immigrant Detention: Solitary Confinement and Ill-Treatment
About 830 immigrants were transferred to the Guantanamo Bay Migrant Operations Center in the year after January 2025, most for days to weeks. Detainees describe isolation in cells for up to 23 hours a day, being tied to a chair as punishment, strip searches, and denial of contact with families or attorneys; Human Rights Watch says the conditions may amount to ill-treatment prohibited under international law. Multiple federal lawsuits by ACLU, CCR, and IRAP challenge the detention as unlawful.
