A coalition of civil liberties and immigrant rights groups have sued the Trump administration for detaining migrants incommunicado at the offshore prison camp in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, after they were initially taken into custody in the United States.

    Which is why nothing he ever did was ever blocked after his first 2 years and nothing can ever be undone!

      You think Obama didn’t accomplish anything? He was some kind of completely helpless nobody in the face of a Republican party that didn’t control anything for two years of his term?

      This is exactly the reason the Democratic party is being dumped on so hard these days, and deservedly so. They don’t even do the right thing when they are handed the power to do it on a silver plate. They insist on “compromise” with a party that brooks none.

      Shutting down Guantanamo would have been effectively irreversible since it’s Cuban land. Cuba doesn’t recognize the American claim that they have a lease on it, so as soon as it’s shut down it’s never coming back.
