The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the Trump administration on Wednesday arguing that migrants detained in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have not been given adequate access to lawyers – a claim the Department of Homeland Security disputed and said shows the organization cares more about “highly dangerous criminal aliens” than Americans.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on Wednesday seeking access to dozens of migrants flown to a U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, saying they were being denied the right to an attorney.

The lawsuit alleges that the migrants have been "disappeared into a black box" and are unable to communicate with attorneys.
