President Trump's new plan for Guantanamo Bay raises alarms regarding its historical role as a site of American legal infractions. His executive order proposes to transfer 30,000 undocumented immigrants to the notorious facility, which has been synonymous with torture and human rights violations since 9/11. The base's infamous background began with the US's colonial influence over Cuba post-Spanish-American War, and its role has increasingly become one of circumventing international law. The low annual rent underscores ongoing ethical dilemmas surrounding the base's existence and continued use in controversial policies.
Trump's recent executive order to send 30,000 undocumented immigrants to Guantanamo Bay reflects a disconcerting trend of using military bases for incarceration, reminiscent of historical injustices.
Guantanamo's infamous reputation as a site of torture and international law violations continues, manifesting in Trump's proposal, which signals a troubling embrace of authoritarian measures.
The facility's background, from its origins in the Spanish-American War to its current use, showcases a history intertwined with America's legal and moral failures.
The rent for the Guantanamo Bay base is a mere $4,085 a year, raising questions about the ethical implications of maintaining such a strategic yet controversial site.
