US judge blocks possible transfer of Venezuelan detainees to Guantanamo

A U.S. federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing the transfer of two Venezuelan detainees, Juan Carlos Ochoa and Juan Jose Zuniga, to the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. This decision came after their attorneys argued that such a transfer would violate their rights under the Fifth Amendment, potentially subjecting them to indefinite detention without charge. The detainees, who were arrested in Chicago for allegedly violating U.S. sanctions against Venezuela, are currently held in a federal prison in Brooklyn, New York. The judge's order, which lasts for 14 days, was issued to allow time for further legal arguments on the matter. This case highlights ongoing concerns about the use of Guantanamo for detentions and the legal rights of detainees.
