Trump administration says it has begun deporting migrants to Guantánamo Bay

But those are the "good 'ombres"

Where are you going to send them? Many times the immigrants home countries deny they are their citizens and refuse to accept them back. What do you do then?

The point of Guantanamo Bay is that it's not under Cuban law and also not quite under US law. So they really want to be able to do anything to the people they deport there.

Having seen some of these leopards-eating-my-face stories, I imagine there will be Trump voters who suddenly find themselves being tortured in Guantanamo Bay. It's very frustrating because everyone did try to warn them.

Who says they're planning to send them anywhere?

Are you suggesting that imprisoning them indefinitely is somehow the correct solution?

[email protected]

They're sending them to their auntie's farm up north

[email protected]

It's not a prison, they're just concentrating them there.

[email protected]

Of course they are. Some are just created more equal.

Right, because what Trump is doing is Biden’s and Obama’s fault…

[email protected]

Do they know people without citizenship though?

[email protected]

There is "no correct solution". What would you suggest?

[email protected]

That is what deportation means, to send them back to their country of origin. If their home country refuses to accept them or denies they are their citizens then what do you do then?

Thank God he setup a prison camp to hold all the Trumpists and billionaires while they are waiting to be guillotined. That's going to come in handy.

Bold of you to assume that'll happen in our lifetime.

Yes Trump is expanding on the human rights violations Obama and Biden put in place.

Take Trump’s order to construct a migrant detention centre in Guantánamo Bay – a space that has for years operated outside international law despite outcries and appeals for closure. Hundreds of prisoners were kept there under military law, often following rendition, disappearance and torture at CIA black sites. Trump’s proposal to detain tens of thousands of migrants there is an outrageous move, but it is not an aberration. He is building, literally, on what came before him.

“Like many of Trump’s authoritarian attacks on human rights, this one has shameful precedents in US history,” Vince Warren, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, told CNN. “Long before the second Bush administration used the facility to hold and abuse nearly 800 Muslim men and boys as part of its ‘war on terror’, the first Bush administration held Haitian refugees there to try to deny them their rights under international law.” The prison, in fact, currently houses detained migrants in a facility called the Migrant Operations Center. Last year, the Biden administration awarded a private contractor over $160m (£130m) to run the facility.

I hope we all survive long enough for that to happen

As much as I hate trump, and boy oh boy do I hate him and elon so much I refuse to even capitalize their names, this is something that Bush started, and then Obama and Biden (and ESPECIALLY OBAMA) had the golden opportunity to do something about during their terms, Obama could have shut it down in 09-10 specifically with the full backing of congress; and they both chose to do nothing and let it remain.

So now we get humans rights violations being committed on migrants instead of just "terrorists".

First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out
Because I'm one of the good ones

my point is more that american propaganda has always been this. america co-opts the messaging of liberation to subjugate and harm. our best bet is to try to learn what black women were saying in that era. best way to find out is to log out the internet and start connecting with other humans around us
