Trump administration says it has begun deporting migrants to Guantánamo Bay

I guess all men are not created equal.

[zachariah@lemmy.world]

Aha! Finally unveiling their evil scheme will surely bring them down!

Oh, they announced it themselves. Well, shit.

[rageagainstbelief@lemmy.world]

I get the irony but we should still try to work toward the ideal not away from it.

[ceenote@lemmy.world]

The cruelty is the point.

Abu Ghraib: the sequel

[carmakazi@lemmy.world]

Guantanamo is a notorious US torture facility, it doesn't need to be compared to other US torture facilities.

[qprimed@lemmy.ml]

oh, agreed. I am talking about the proposed, insane expansion of facilities.

Are there protests happening in the US or are they all going huh he does this and that on social media

[jericho_kane@lemmy.org]

Since this is about migrants and not about New Coke, i assume not.

[facedeer@fedia.io]

Sure would have been nice if Obama or Biden had actually closed Guantanamo Bay when they had the chance.

I liked to find silver linings where I can, and what I'm hoping is that when the shambles of the American government finally get back into Democratic hands (or whatever opposition party replaces them, at this point) there will finally be a realization that actual for real change is needed. Democratic politicians have been just treading water for decades now.

When is a prison camp not a prison camp? When it's run by the USA! 🥴

Nah most people know migrants they care about

[laintrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

But those are the "good 'ombres"

[aidskitty@lemmy.world]

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?

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

[floofloof@lemmy.ca]

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.

[bonifratz@lemm.ee]

Who says they're planning to send them anywhere?

[moakley@lemmy.world]

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