President Trump proposes Guantanamo Bay as a holding facility for migrants, potentially accommodating up to 30,000 people. The first military flight has already deported individuals to this controversial location. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth endorses this plan, while critics, like Amnesty International's Amy Fischer, argue it jeopardizes migrants' rights and access to support. Current operations involve about 300 service members and suggest a growing trend toward using this military site for migrant detentions, raising ethical and humanitarian questions amidst ongoing deportation efforts to different countries.
Sending immigrants to Guantanamo is a profoundly cruel, costly move. It will cut people off from lawyers, family and support systems, throwing them into a black hole so the U.S. government can continue to violate their human rights out of sight. Shut Gitmo down now and forever!
The first US military flight deporting migrants from the United States to Guantanamo Bay landed in Cuba on Tuesday evening, marking the start of an expected surge in deportations.
