Human rights groups have accused U.S. authorities of using Guantánamo Bay for decades to detain migrants fleeing Haiti, Cuba and other Caribbean nations.

President Donald Trump, who made the deportation of immigrants a central part of his campaign and presidency, said the U.S. will use a detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to hold tens of thousands of the "worst criminal aliens." "We're going to send them out to Guantánamo," the Republican said at the signing of the Laken Riley Act last month.

The Times has obtained a list of the names of the men, whom the U.S. government has described as Venezuelan citizens under final deportation orders.
