Trump administration says it has begun deporting migrants to Guantánamo Bay

You might want to go look for what body enforces those laws and whether the USA is part of that system (they are not).
You know nothing about me. You aren’t psychic and you have repeatedly misunderstood what was written. You should not presume that you are well informed on this subject based on what you have shown here.
I promise you there were talks about this. It was in fact covered. The catch is no one really cares about these prisoners because there is no incentive for them to. It’s akin to how China understands they shouldn’t have engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the Uighurs but no one had a “better” idea so they made the bad choice and stuck to it.

At least part of the reason is the people captured in the war on terror occupied a legal gray area. They are sort of like soldiers, so they are not subject to American civil or criminal law. But they don't belong to a military organization with a formal chain of command, so they are not signatories to the Geneva Convention or any other treaties concerning conduct in war.
Even if they were tried and found guilty in a military court for 'being terrorists', eventually their prison sentences would end. So what do we do with them now? A lot of their home countries didn't want them back (although now the Taliban government of Afghanistan will probably take back their citizens).
Basically, the entire Gitmo internment of fighters captured in the war on terror was a great big mess. It was really easy for Obama and Biden to say on the campaign trail that they would shut down Gitmo, but actually dealing with the prisoners in a politically acceptable way was very, very difficult. It was easier to hope people would forget about them.
BTW - some Gitmo detainees did get released over the years.

Internal US news is not World.
Yes, Guantánamo Bay is technically in Cuba, but it's effectively "the US".
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantánamo_Bay
"The United States exercises jurisdiction and control over this territory as the home of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, while recognizing that Cuba retains ultimate sovereignty.[2][3]"
