Trump Administration Loses Guantanamo Detention Case

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has rejected a request from the Trump administration to toss a lawsuit challenging the detention of migrants at the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. In a ruling Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan denied the federal government’s motion to dismiss the case and has set a hearing for next week for both sides to discuss next steps in this case. President Donald Trump in January announced his administration would use a detention center at Guantánamo to hold tens of thousands of the “worst criminal aliens,” as part of his wider immigration crackdown.
