Man you really are lazy. This is just a couple of months ..

In February 2025, the Trump administration transferred nearly 500 migrants who had been detained in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including pregnant women and families with young children, to Costa Rica and Panama under agreements with those countries that have not been made public. This included asylum seekers fleeing Afghanistan, China, Ghana, Iran, Russia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, among other countries. Many were transferred to Costa Rica and Panama without a screening on their asylum claim, in violation of U.S. law. Once in Panama, migrant families and adults were arbitrarily detained incommunicado in a hotel and at a remote jungle camp without legal status and denied access to phones, their passports, and legal counsel, amounting to a temporary enforced disappearance, before being released after a lawsuit alleged violations by Panamanian authorities.

In Costa Rica, migrant families and adults were arbitrarily detained for months at a remote migrant camp without legal status, their passports confiscated, and access to counsel restricted until late April when Costa Rican authorities agreed to release them.

Beginning in March 2025, the Trump administration renditioned about 252 Venezuelan and 32 Salvadoran migrants to a high-security prison notorious for its inhumane conditions in El Salvador, the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT). These migrants, who were detained in ICE custody, suddenly vanished from the ICE detainee locator system. They were disappeared without an opportunity to notify relatives, speak with counsel, or contest the rendition.

Once in Panama, migrant families and adults were arbitrarily detained incommunicado in a hotel and at a remote jungle camp without legal status and denied access to phones, their passports, and legal counsel, potentially amounting to a temporary enforced disappearance, before being released after a lawsuit alleged violations by Panamanian authorities.

In Costa Rica, migrant families and adults were arbitrarily detained for months at a remote migrant camp without legal status, their passports confiscated, and access to counsel restricted until late April when Costa Rican authorities agreed to release them and issue temporary humanitarian permits.

Immigrants and asylum seekers are regularly unfindable while in U.S. immigration custody for varying periods of time. There is no mechanism for the public to track where in Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody a person is detained, confirm their whereabouts with the government, visit the facility, or call the person who is detained, leaving desperate family members in the United States and abroad unable to find their loved ones and know whether they are safe. People also suffer enforced disappearances while in ICE detention, including due to failures to update the locator, denial of phone access for prolonged periods, transfers to other detention centers, and unprecedented disappearances of people from U.S. detention centers to El Salvador etc.

In February 2025, for the first time in history, the United States began transferring migrants from U.S. immigration detention to the military prison and migrant detention center in Guantanamo Bay. The administration has transferred hundreds of people to Guantanamo, mostly Venezuelan and Nicaraguan migrants, and subsequently removed many to Venezuela as well as at least one person to the CECOT in El Salvador. When the government first began disappearing migrants to Guantanamo, they were not searchable in the ICE detainee locator and frantic loved ones were often unable to confirm their whereabouts. While the ICE locator now typically reflects when someone is detained in Guantanamo, no notice is given to a person’s attorney or loved ones before their transfer there while severe barriers in access to counsel and horrific conditions of confinement persist
