Summary

Despite promises to detain only high-risk criminals, the Trump administration is also sending nonviolent, low-risk migrants to Guantanamo Bay, internal documents and officials confirm.

While gang members and violent offenders are housed in maximum-security cells, low-risk detainees—many with no criminal records—are placed in a barrack-like facility.

The administration is expanding detention capacity at the base, aiming to hold up to 30,000 migrants.

Civil rights groups have criticized the move, arguing it isolates detainees and undermines legal protections for asylum-seekers and migrants.

    “Kristi Noem said recently the detainees will be held there until they can be deported, but it’s unclear when that could happen”

    Right right… what are they gonna do when they run out of space? Do they have a final solution?

    A nice reminder that, with MAGAts, the cruelty is always the point.

    All illegal immigrants are “the worst”, like all Gazans are “terrorists”.

      Exactly this. They haven’t found any “bad hombres” yet so they’ll most pretend they’re all bad.

    Of course they are. „the worst“ are usually hard to catch, unless they already are in prison. Whereas normal people have regular places to be, school or work, where they can be caught easily.

    Also, technically, there will always be „the worst“, just as there will always be „the best“ migrant.

    They think a Venezuelan gang keeps a roster of its members, or they all have a murderous look.
