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.

Since February, the U.S. has held approximately 500 migrants at the Guantanamo facility, according to last week’s court filing. Sen. Gary Peters, the top Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said last month that the use of the facility appears to cost $100,000 per day for each detainee.
During the peak of the war on terror, the U.S. held 780 people at the Guantanamo Bay facility. Pentagon officials were shocked by Trump’s order in January to house some 30,000 people there.
It physically and economically can’t be done. The most over-funded military in the world didn’t bother to supply the National Guard with food, water, or bedding in Los Angeles.
They’re sending these people to die.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
‘Alleged’ migrants, because without due process, we really don’t know, do we?
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”
