Trump moves to prepare Guantanamo Bay for 30,000 'criminal illegal aliens'

I will remember this next time the Medicare For All discussion comes up

 

No amount of money will make the most cowardly people on earth feel safe (the sort of people who cower in fear of a trans person doing normal things). We have courts and prisons for people who commit crimes, authoritarians put people who make them 'feel' unsafe in indefinite detention. Freedom isnt for the fearful.

 

There actually is a facility a Guantanamo that's been used to house undocumented immigrants mainly Haitians interdicted at sea. They usually stay there for a short period of time before being allowed to immigrate to the US or repatriated back to their home country. It's nowhere close to being able to accommodate 30,000 persons. The only way the facility can expanded to rapidly accommodate 30,000 detainees would be through the use of tents. Should be interesting to see what happens when a hurricane strikes a tent city.

 

Apples to apples…

 

Funny how they just walk right into it, huh?

 

Entirely predictable

Looks like the El Salvadoran philosophy of tattoos = gang member is the American way too

 

Since when? Just asking for FEMA, WHO, USAID and the CDC.

 

Arrest, relocation to a prison for an indefinite period, all without due process. How is this legal? If they're here illegally, deport them to their home country. If they commit a crime, arrest and try them in court. Guantanamo is some kind of holding pen, and as sure as I love me some picadillo and yellow rice, someone is making serious bank off this endeavor. Someone is also paying serious bank, and that would be the US taxpayer.

 

I would add that relocating them to Guantanamo effectively denies them access to legal representation. Rather than made on impulse by Trump the decision to relocate deportees to Guantanamo was most likely a well thought out strategy by Stephen Miller and Tom Homan, the architects of family separation during the first Trump Administration.
