ACLU Challenges Gitmo Solitary Confinement Practices

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has raised concerns about the conditions at Guantánamo Bay, where migrants are being held in solitary confinement for 23 hours daily without windows, shackled, and subjected to invasive strip searches. The ACLU argues that these transfers violate due process under the Fifth Amendment and are undertaken for punitive reasons. Judge Nichols denied a request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) citing that none of the named immigrants are currently being held at Guantánamo. However, President Donald Trump's memo has directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to expand operations at the naval station, which attorneys claim lacks legal authority and targets non-high-risk criminals.

Congestion from a cold or allergies can also constrict airways, leading to snoring. Untreated sleep apnea, characterized by collapsed airways during sleep, poses serious health risks including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
