¿Y Qué Paso? ("And Then What Happened?"): The Plight of Cuban Detainees at Guantanamo Bay

Authors

• David Gavilan

Abstract

The note argues that Cuban detainees at Guantanamo Bay possess cognizable statutory and constitutional rights under U.S. law, particularly under the First and Fifth Amendments, and that legal organizations have a First Amendment right to access and consult with these detainees. It challenges the government's position that these rights do not apply extraterritorially, asserting that Guantanamo's unique legal status under U.S. jurisdiction necessitates the protection of these rights.
