The claim
“More than 30 members of Congress urged Trump administration officials to stop using Guantánamo Bay for immigrant detention and to reject any plans for military action on Cuba.”
Our verdict
Mostly True

What we found
A separate advocacy letter from Rep. Tlaib shows congressional concern about Guantánamo use, though it cites 15 members, supporting the broader claim that members are urging action. No contradictory evidence was found.
