> President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an order directing his administration to revive a migrant detention facility at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba to hold detained migrants while they await deportation.
> Speaking at a signing ceremony for the Laken Riley Act — the first bill he has signed into law since becoming president — Trump said the facility would be used to warehouse detainees and massively increase the number of detention beds available for holding migrants after they are arrested by American immigration officials.
> “Today I’m also signing an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay,” Trump declared while signing the Laken Riley Act into law.
> “Most people don’t even know about it. We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people,” he added. “Some of them are so bad we don‘t even trust the countries to hold them, because we don‘t want them coming back. so we‘re going to send them out to Guantanamo. This will double our capacity immediately.”

Why is Fetterman so on board with this xenophobic bill that erases human rights?

Incredibly Trumpesque idea. No upsides, infeasible, expensive.
– whatever facility he’s planning would be much easier, faster and cheaper to construct in the US
– the detention camp only had 800 inmates max so I’m not sure where he even gets th 30k from
– there is no reason to interrogate or torture random migrants so it doesn’t help being in a black site
– it’s a military base so even if you put criminals there some police force needs to be put there for any legal proceedings
– random civilans are now next to military gear, secrets and personnel so you somehow have to keep everything apart
You can literally fence in some area in Bumfuck, Nowhere in a cooperating state, put in tents, containers or whatever and have operational detention facilities within weeks.
