Trump team plans to send thousands of migrants to Guantanamo starting as soon as this week | The use of the facility would send another signal of deterrence amid immigration crackdown.
Some 800 Europeans — including one Austrian, 100 Romanians and 170 Russians — are being considered for the transfers, according to one of the documents. That element of the plan has alarmed some U.S. diplomats, who note that most European countries are American allies that are cooperative in taking back deportees and that there’s no need to send the people to Guantanamo.

The cruelty and harm is the point of these kinds of policy
$50 million per day for 500 people is absolute insanity
It's very efficient at funneling money to contractors.
Hey guys what is $100,000 a day for 30,000 people?
Well lookie here that is $3 billion... a day!
Or over a trillion dollars a year. Grifters gonna grifffffttttt!
So the only purpose of this move is to burn the bridges we've spent a century building with our allies, got it.
Boy, Putin got the deal of the millennium on Trump.
No it's to set precedent.
They want to send us there they just need a tacit ok from the courts who so far have responded with " hell no, read the Constitution ".
In the end, the Constitution is a piece of paper. After centuries, people got tired of having to pretend it really meant something to them.
He really did. If you want to destroy a country just do what Trump and MAGA have been doing. Attack education, disrupt the economy, and watch the whole thing collapse.
They turned the Blackstone's ratio on its head: "It is better that ten innocent persons suffer than that one guilty escape"
Shit, looks like the Baghdad approach is coming back home. Like the imperial boomerang
"immigration crackdown"
