Only 34 Democrats Condemn ICE’s Targeting of Students
In waging a “war” against TdA, the Trump administration’s actions, particularly the use of CECOT, potentially violated several key provisions of the Geneva Conventions, including those concerning prisoner treatment and communication with families. Furthermore, the transfer of prisoners to CECOT likely contravened the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, given CECOT’s documented human rights abuses. Judge Boasberg’s Monday filing highlighted these potential violations. Therefore, invoking wartime laws necessitates adherence to established wartime rules and international humanitarian law.
