The Trump administration has sent three illegal immigrants back to Venezuela after a judge blocked their transfer to the migrant detention center at Guantánamo Bay.

The Trump administration said Thursday it had abruptly deported at least 177 Venezuelan immigrants who had been detained in a newly constructed prison camp at the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

Three immigrants who won a restraining order against the U.S. government to avoid transfer to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba have been deported on direct flights to Venezuela.

Three immigrants who won a restraining order against the federal government to avoid transfer to the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba were deported this week on direct flights to Venezuela, according to court documents published Friday.

U.S. immigration and military authorities say they have transferred exclusively Venezuelan immigrants who are subject to final deportation orders to the U.S. naval station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where nearly 180 new arrivals are being held in tents and high-security facilities,

Many of the migrants were being kept in a detention facility that has historically held suspected terrorists. They were flown back to Venezuela Thursday after a stop in Honduras.

The administration flew almost all of the migrants it had held in the facility in Cuba to Honduras, and one to detention in the U.S., NBC News has learned.
