Trump administration says it has begun deporting migrants to Guantánamo Bay
The Trump administration has begun flying undocumented immigrants from the US to a military detention facility at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said on Tuesday.
Leavitt told Fox Business Network that at least two deportation flights were “under way”, but gave no further details.
Her comments, however, appeared to confirm reporting by the Wall Street Journal, citing an anonymous official with knowledge of the operation, that about a dozen immigrants were onboard one flight from Fort Bliss, Texas. The newspaper said an additional flight had departed on Monday.
CNN later reported one of the flights had “about nine or 10” people onboard who were detained in the US without valid immigration documents.

Aha! Finally unveiling their evil scheme will surely bring them down!
Oh, they announced it themselves. Well, shit.
The "protest" is shooting ICE agents through your fucking door and fighting to your death. Y'all can go wave flags and chant all you like. I'm sure that would have given the Nazis pause to reconsider. I won't go to them, but they'll have a fight if they come to me.
My wife is brown and legal, so yes, I have a dog in this fight. I'll be at camp trying out some new gear if anyone wants to join me.
And here I get banned for "inciting violence". Get on the trains then, at least you'll have your "morals" intact. "At least we didn't let anyone agitate!" Warm yourself with those thoughts.
Wasn't a traditional walk out, but just yesterday there was a TikTok spread one that got a few of my students out on the street in LA to protest and cause traffic. Got in the news, at least. Normally non profits and rights groups do it, like in 2017.
Also naturally it's only Latinos in that, everyone else are very complacent right now.
Sure would have been nice if Obama or Biden had actually closed Guantanamo Bay when they had the chance.
I liked to find silver linings where I can, and what I'm hoping is that when the shambles of the American government finally get back into Democratic hands (or whatever opposition party replaces them, at this point) there will finally be a realization that actual for real change is needed. Democratic politicians have been just treading water for decades now.

Yes Trump is expanding on the human rights violations Obama and Biden put in place.
Take Trump’s order to construct a migrant detention centre in Guantánamo Bay – a space that has for years operated outside international law despite outcries and appeals for closure. Hundreds of prisoners were kept there under military law, often following rendition, disappearance and torture at CIA black sites. Trump’s proposal to detain tens of thousands of migrants there is an outrageous move, but it is not an aberration. He is building, literally, on what came before him.“Like many of Trump’s authoritarian attacks on human rights, this one has shameful precedents in US history,” Vince Warren, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, told CNN. “Long before the second Bush administration used the facility to hold and abuse nearly 800 Muslim men and boys as part of its ‘war on terror’, the first Bush administration held Haitian refugees there to try to deny them their rights under international law.” The prison, in fact, currently houses detained migrants in a facility called the Migrant Operations Center. Last year, the Biden administration awarded a private contractor over $160m (£130m) to run the facility.
Trump 2.0 is exposing American exceptionalism for what it is – and has always been
Guantánamo Bay? Imperialism? Alliances with billionaires? Those shocked at the president’s early moves have forgotten what came before, writes Guardian columnist Nesrine MalikNesrine Malik (The Guardian)

The Biden administration refused to pay money towards it, that money was paid for by the state of Illinois, brought forth by governor J.B. Pritzker from what I see. It went from 40 people down to 15 during his presidency. He should have closed it but I don't see any where that he paid that money.

As much as I hate trump, and boy oh boy do I hate him and elon so much I refuse to even capitalize their names, this is something that Bush started, and then Obama and Biden (and ESPECIALLY OBAMA) had the golden opportunity to do something about during their terms, Obama could have shut it down in 09-10 specifically with the full backing of congress; and they both chose to do nothing and let it remain.
So now we get humans rights violations being committed on migrants instead of just "terrorists".

It's a fair question. Got nothing better than to deflect with another question?
OP is asking for a solution. I ain't got it. Do you? I'm listening, really I am.
Suppose it doesn't matter what we think as this administration will do whatever the fuck they please, but it's at least a fair intellectual exercise.

Asking for a solution to the question of what to do with a type of person. That's the reason the Nazis built concentration camps too.
Turns out you don't actually need to imprison people in extrajudicial torture camps, you can just treat them with a shred of human decency instead.
Like we've been dealing with immigrants for centuries, practically every nation has, we don't need a 'final solution', we can process them individually and find solutions dynamically based on the needs and situation of the individual. Sometimes that means deportation, sometimes it means granting asylum, and sometimes it means working with our allies to find a suitable destination. Imprisoning them in Guantanamo bay is not a solution, it's a pretense for extermination.

OP is asking for a solution
Tell me, does the first one I suggest have to be my final solution, or am I allowed to workshop?
Sometimes deals can be arranged with countries of origin (or nearby), even if it takes time and diplomatic effort (and probably some compensation to the receiver).
If that fails, and anyways until that succeeds (if ever), you still have to treat these people as humans with dignity and rights.
If they are criminals, they serve their time like anyone else.
But first and foremost, if only for pragmatic reasons, society should look for ways to integrate these individuals in a way which benefits everyone; as a productive member. Most people don't strive to live in misery, and they probably came to your country in hopes of a better future. Help them build that, and everybody might win.
The alternative is to become a monster yourself and still have no answers.
Good question. Where to put them, when the camps are full? How much money is it going to cost to imprison millions for life? Is there a more efficient solution?

The point of Guantanamo Bay is that it's not under Cuban law and also not quite under US law. So they really want to be able to do anything to the people they deport there.
Having seen some of these leopards-eating-my-face stories, I expect there will be Trump voters who are surprised to suddenly find themselves being tortured in Guantanamo Bay. It's very frustrating because everyone did try to warn them.

Because I'm one of the good ones
... i did not speak out because premature Nazi comparisons diminish the Nazi crimes and are antisemitic.
We'll have to wait for at least 5 million gassed before we can think about Nazi comparisons.
/s just in case.
How are undocumented immigrants being deported usually handled? I'm assuming, unless the undocumented person gives ICE a country, they usually have no idea what an undocumented immigrant's nationality is and the undocumented immigrant usually doesn't want to give a country cuz they left for a reason.
So what was happening to deported undocumented immigrants before 2025?
They'll do that's the only way to fit 30,000 immigrants into a torture camp that can hold < 1000 inmates.
By May 2003, the Guantanamo Bay detention camp had grown into a larger and more permanent facility that housed over 680 prisoners, the vast majority without formal charges.

I am almost done migrating away from all US businesses as a result of this. I am even drinking freeway cola 😅
I work in IT as a freelance DevOps/Cloud engineer and am advising all my clients to migrate away from AWS etc.
Even sold most of S&P 500 and reinvested into an all-world ex-US ETF.
This is a good start:
Mostly moving to hetzner. It's a bit rough around the edges but works.
One big thing missing is there is no good and affordable WAF. Myra is good but costs at least 10k/month.

Yesterday, inspired by the news about mass depaorations, i watched a documentary on the Final Solution.
Among a lot of interesting things, one thing stood out to me: The original Nazis were afraid that the german people would not only reject genocide, but also reject the idea of jews (aka. their neighbors) being sent to brutal labor camps.
So they produced propaganda movies depicting the city Theresienstadt as a spa town. And then told the public that the jews would be sent there to be protected from the increasingly antisemitic public.
To lull victims into a false sense of security, the SS advertised Theresienstadt as a "spa town" where Jews could retire, and encouraged them to sign fraudulent home purchase contracts, pay "deposits" for rent and board, and surrender life insurance policies and other assets.

Nowadays, you can just tell the american people:
Hey, we are gonna send your neighbors to a torture camp. Great camp. Lovely camp. Most brutal camp of the world.
And they are like: Yessss, finally a solution to the migrant question.
I can also recommend .

Some of those people were guilty and should have been tried and jailed here
if so, why weren't they tried and sentenced?
To my fellow Americans:
You may think you are above this and since you voted you are guilt free but today, and every other day since the election, you are MAGA and no one watching from the outside will take the time to ask who you voted for.
If you think you are powerless you're wrong, your power just isn't concentrated into a swimming pool of $ signs. You can do more then vote, you can elevate your brother. Everyday, you can elevate someone you know who will fight for your cause. At the grocery, you can let them in line in front of you, on the highway you can let them pass, in the town hall you can let them speak, every day you have the power to lift up those around you.
ive been seeing some supposed marxists spreading a narrative that the deportations havent actually increased with trump, that he's just been advertising what was already going on in previous governments, to please his supporters.
Is this thing of sending immigrants to guantanamo a new thing? are the deportations worse than before? is the narrative i mentioned a big distortion of reality?
Guantanamo is new ripple as far as the broader public is aware.
Deportation hard numbers don't fluctuate much from admin to admin.
The process in how they're deported was handled a lot differently under Trump than previous. More saber rattling and human rights concerns.
but go ahead and cite your claims.
No you don’t get it. They did this because the Bush administration didn’t want to confront the problem of potentially innocent people being murdered
If this was their concern, why didn't they just let them go? take them back where they took them from? after all, they didn't have enough evidence to even charge them
Side note, you should really check your reasoning here bud. You are literally arguing that the USA, in an abundance of care for the safety of certain people, they took them and left them to rot in a concentration camp for decades...
They grabbed people ostensibly from battlefields. They aren’t collecting evidence in a firefight. This isn’t a cop tv show. Theoretically battlefield combatants do not have the rights you seem to think they do.
I do not know what rights you think I think they have... but they do have some rights in International Law, not that the USA cares but they do.
Also, if all it takes is for someone to be in a "battlefield" to be automatically a combatant, well, it only shows your very American view of the world when you have never fought on your own soil. These villages, some of the poorest places on Earth, are the battefields. Where did you expect these people to go? their summer houses while the conflict passes? maybe take a sabatical from gathering dirty water from the only river while the solutions fixes itself?
If you think Im defending this choice you are mistaken.
Fair... my point against your line of thinking is that I would bet my left nut there was less than zero consideration for the safety of the detainees... In fact, the #1 reason they were put in Guantanamo to begin with was to "respect" somewhat the USA constitution, you know back in the good old days when they were at least pretending the constitution meant something
At least part of the reason is the people captured in the war on terror occupied a legal gray area. They are sort of like soldiers, so they are not subject to American civil or criminal law. But they don't belong to a military organization with a formal chain of command, so they are not signatories to the Geneva Convention or any other treaties concerning conduct in war.
Even if they were tried and found guilty in a military court for 'being terrorists', eventually their prison sentences would end. So what do we do with them now? A lot of their home countries didn't want them back (although now the Taliban government of Afghanistan will probably take back their citizens).
Basically, the entire Gitmo internment of fighters captured in the war on terror was a great big mess. It was really easy for Obama and Biden to say on the campaign trail that they would shut down Gitmo, but actually dealing with the prisoners in a politically acceptable way was very, very difficult. It was easier to hope people would forget about them.
BTW - some Gitmo detainees did get released over the years.

Yes, Guantánamo Bay is technically in Cuba, but it's effectively "the US".
