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.
Cops love nonviolent offenders and victimless crimes. Why risk going after a dangerous criminal when you can bully someone for not having their papers in order?
Trump lied?
“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?
Some were probably in the U.S. legally. Some are probably citizens who were caught speaking Spanish and being brown in public. And if that isn’t true yet, it almost certainly will be soon.
Just your casual crimes against humanity from the land of the free

Guantanamo is Trump’s Dachau.
It doesn’t matter how good or bad they are. It shouldn’t happen.
Have to have enough for the ovens.
A nice reminder that, with MAGAts, the cruelty is always the point.
Neveragain.The problem with that phrase is that the “again” started happening as soon as the war ended (actually, even before it ended, Stalin was doing his best to kill off indigenous groups in the USSR and continued after it ended). And never stopped.
All illegal immigrants are “the worst”, like all Gazans are “terrorists”.
The fields ain’t gonna tend themselves!
Got to make those numbers look good.
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.
