Three migrants sent to Guantánamo said they were denied calls to loved ones, subjected to humiliating strip searches and left in isolation for prolonged periods.

The men told NPR they were kept in the dark about why they were in Guantánamo Bay, and were denied access to an attorney or a phone call with loved ones.

Almost a week after the Trump administration sent migrants from Guantanamo back to Venezuela, the deportees are describing their ordeals.

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

Flights that left from Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, Thursday transported nearly 200 illegal immigrants detained on the island back to Venezuela.

US and Venezuelan officials confirmed that 177 Venezuelans boarded an aircraft from the Venezuelan-owned airline Conviasa bound for Caracas.

Many of the migrants were being kept in a detention facility that has historically held suspected terrorists. They were flown back to Venezuela Thursday after a stop in Honduras.

The nearly 200 migrants detained at Guantanamo Bay have been cleared out of the military base, with all but one person flown back to Venezuela following successful negotiations with the South American nation’s leader, according to news reports.
