Attorneys representing former detainees are alarmed by President Trump's directive to expand migrant operations at Guantánamo Bay, a facility infamous for human rights abuses. The plan proposes to detain tens of thousands of immigrants at the naval base, which is often associated with torture and military secrecy. Pardiss Kebriaei from the Center for Constitutional Rights expressed her concern, emphasizing that using Guantánamo as a threat perpetuates its legacy of brutality. This move highlights ongoing debates about detention policies and human rights in the U.S.
We should all be disturbed by the use of Guantanamo to send a chill down people's spines ... I can't think of another infamous prison where a leader of country would capitalize on brutality and torture in that way, as a threat.
Guantanamo Bay remains a globally recognized symbol of lawlessness and torture.
