我报道了美国政府将177名委内瑞拉移民送往关塔那摩湾，然后经洪都拉斯遣返回委内瑞拉的事件。美国政府最初声称这些移民都是重刑犯，但法庭文件显示，其中近30%的人被认为是低威胁的非法移民。许多被关押者的母亲反驳了政府的说法，她们认为自己的孩子只是为了寻求更好的未来才来到美国。将移民短暂送往关塔那摩湾，然后转送其他地方的做法，使得关塔那摩湾成为一个临时拘留中心和中转站。我认为，这一举动既是对美国公众，也是对未来移民的警告，其中存在着明显的政治操作和公关目的。美国公民自由联盟(ACLU)也因此起诉了美国政府，因为政府未告知被关押者的家人他们的下落，也未允许他们与律师或家人联系。尽管所有被拘留者已被遣返，但除非政府保证不会再将任何人转移到关塔那摩湾，否则诉讼将继续进行。
