Maiker Alejandro Espinoza Escalona, a plaintiff in the case Escalona v. Noem challenging ICE transfers to Guantánamo Bay, was held at the U.S. detention facility there from March 28 to 29, 2025 before being flown to El Salvador. His family later identified him in a photo posted to social media by Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. According to ACLU attorneys, he is now potentially permanently separated from his partner, who remains in ICE custody, and their two-year-old daughter.
