Donald Trump announces plan to send 30,000 migrants to Guantanamo Bay

It's sorta like a camp, but concentrated on one type of person....

I knew the concentration camps were coming, but just after ten days? Holy shit

As an added note, they deported multiple children to Colombia the other day. Half the people they've arrested in specific areas have zero criminal records. Some are even US citizens. This is not for immigrants, this a Latino concentration camp.

I know two people first hand who have been here for over 30 years with no criminal records who are being detained. These are the people being sent to Guantanamo.

I don't know anything but isn't Guantanamo Bay, like, kinda small?

Mark my words- queer people will be next.

My grandmother fought in the Dutch resistance, helped people who were Jewish escape, and was put in a camp. She died a few years ago. This is how that happened, too. And we're all watching. Even with americas vaunted 2nd amendment, Russian-backed fascists just walked in and took over, and everyone is just watching them. No riots, no fighting back, just passive resistance.

I wish all of you the best of luck. I'm going to go hug my kids.

Wasn't trump one of the Obama critics demanding him to close it?

Concentration camp/torture camp.

Lots of people fantasize about what they might do if they had the opportunity to act to stop what was happening in WWII Germany but here we are.

MAGA has a hardon for cruelty. It's about hurting people. They love the idea a rounding up non-white people, loading them into boxcars, and shipping them off to concentration camps. Everything that Trump has done so far is going make billionaires richer and regular Americans much poorer but as long as he's hurting non-whites they will sit around giving each other rage handies and praising him.

Bloody sickening.

I'm sure imprisoning 30000 innocent people next to highly trained terrorists won't come back to haunt the US.

Speed running the third Reich over here. Has the doctor given him bad news?

Doesn't seem like misreporting. I found other sources reporting it too.

I sent a text to those I love in any capacity, even former coworkers who've probably deleted my number. Not a group text - one by one. I think it'd be prudent for all US readers to consider doing the same.

Knowing some of you are like me, in that you might not know how to word such a text to someone not expecting it from you, I offer you my copy/pasted text:

America has a concentration camp now. I won't send you anything more...it's kind of rude that I'm sending this one. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/donald-trump-announces-plan-to-send-migrants-guantanamo-bay/

And then the US said to Germany, "We too, can do Auschwitz."

If these people are "the worst of the worst" then we already have infrastructure to deal with that. Gitmo is for extrajudicial punishment that should have been outlawed decades ago. "Thanks Obama"

Fucking hell. We were sooooooo close to finally releasing the poor souls caught up from 9/11 shit stuck here. I'm so fucking disgusted by the ruling class in this country.

America's first camp.....in 83 years.

Thanks conservatives.

Both the most US thing you could possibly do AND a gross violation of what the US aspires to be.

Colombia, which eventually backed down, slammed the US' treatment of migrants since Trump came to power.

Why do they continue to repeat this narrative? Colombia wanted the migrants to be deported under humanly conditions. The US did that, now Colombia will take them. The threats of sanctions has nothing to do with it but it makes Trump look strong.

Guantanamo Bay... the blacksite for literal terrorists that is considered highly controversial for literal terrorists? What the actual fuck.

Internment Camps already?

for those of you who live in the US: there must surely be Republican voters being appalled by this too, right? _Right?

Are they just reviewing all the accusations they made about Democrats over the past few years and just using that as a template for what they want to do.

Americans. You have a second amendment and a right to utilize that amendment against tyranny.

Exercise your right. In 4 years you won’t have a country that even remotely resembles what is supposed to be America and the land of the free.

Take down the nazis, destroy facism. Fight the power!

Oh yeah, that place Joe Biden ran on closing (archived) and then promptly forgot about, cool cool cool

Can they even hold that many?

And only $13 million per year in 2019, https://archive.ph/oOiK4 , per inmate that's $390,000,000,000 per year. Sounds like a great use of tax payer money.

Just a random selection of 30,000 people or for an actual reason?

Does anyone know how big is Guantanamo? It takes a lot of space to imprison 30,000 “worst of the worst” children and other people, along with guards and supplies to keep all of them alive.

Aside from the other glaring problems with this idea, is this even physically plausible?

Edit: I came across an article stating:

• the original detention center built by Clinton for terrorists, could hold 12,500, in poor conditions even for terrrorists
• 30,000 would be quite a bit larger than any Nazi concentration camps

This is the Bibby Stockholm all over again
