Federal court finds no legal authority for holding migrants at overseas military base
1.
A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration lacks legal authority to detain migrants awaiting deportation at the U.S. naval base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. denied the government's motion to dismiss a class-action lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The ruling represents a significant legal challenge to the administration's immigration enforcement approach.
