numnuts Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) See how they desperately want to keep this place open and even expand it. For more migrants turned criminal? Yeah, right... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yelgxk3rlo 'Trump says US will send some migrants to Guantanamo Bay.' US President Donald Trump has ordered the construction of a migrant detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, which he said would hold as many as 30,000 people. He said the facility at the US Navy base in Cuba, which would be separate from its high-security military prison, would house "the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people". Guantanamo Bay has long been used to house immigrants, a practice that has been criticised by some human rights groups. Later on Wednesday, Trump's "border tsar" Tom Homan said the existing facility there would be expanded and run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He said the migrants could be transported there directly after being intercepted at sea by the US Coast Guard, and that the "highest" detention standards would be applied. (If some of these migrants are being intercepted at sea, then how can anyone have any clue as to their character or intentions?)
