By Ted Hesson WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A U.S. civil rights group on Saturday sued to block the Trump administration from potentially transferring 10 migrants from the U.S. to a naval base in Guantanamo Bay,

Civil rights attorneys sued the Trump administration Saturday to prevent it from transferring 10 migrants detained in the U.S. to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and filed statements from men held there who said they were mistreated there in conditions that of one of them called “a living hell.

The lawsuit says there is no legitimate reason to send migrants to Guantánamo because the U.S. has ample detention facility.

The base had been cleared of migrants since Thursday, after the government sent 177 to Venezuela and one back to the United States.

Attorneys filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration Saturday to halt the transfer of 10 migrants detained in the U.S. to Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. This marks their second legal challenge in under a month against plans to use the facility for large-scale immigrant detention before deportation.

The 10 detainees in the lawsuit are men from Venezuela, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan with final deportation orders, including some who have been threatened with transfer to Guantanamo
