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. Most people don't even know about it.

Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the other countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back. We're going to send them out to Guantanamo. This will double our capacity immediately. It's a tough place to get out of. Today's signings bring us one step closer to eradicating the scourge of migrant crimes in our communities once and for all.

9 days into the burger Reich and we have concentration camps.

[-] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 105 points 1 month ago

the concentration camps are on the border. constitutional law does not even apply at guantanamo: it's a death camp

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 76 points 1 month ago

Theres been camps at the border since at least Obama. This will be a death camp, which will be novel.

[-] HelluvaBottomCarter@hexbear.net 48 points 1 month ago

And in 2028 we'll have to hear why closing the death camps is radical tankieism

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago

In 2028 the Dems will win on the power of "wouldn't you like the chaos to stop, at least domestically?" 2032 is going to be the year of "the tankies are really showing their privilege when they demand that the death camps be closed."

But think of the economy!

2007 rhetoric: "Let's close Guantanamo"

2025 rhetoric: "Let's expand Guantanamo"

Maybe some based Cubans will liberate the camp and push those American pigs into the sea

[-] theoneIno@lemmy.ml 44 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

it's time for Cuba to get Guantanamo Bay back, the pressure from fellow Latino people being held there might be too much to ignore

If only they could create a rebellion from within with those 30,000+... Guantanamo would be easy to take

[-] dustcommie@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Based Americans would be better, wouldn't want to put a bigger target on Cuba

[-] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 64 points 1 month ago

I better not ever hear any fucking lib complain to me about a gulag ever again.

[-] sexywheat@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

b ... bu .... BUT TRUMP trump-anguish IT'S THE DANG CHEETO cheeto-man

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 56 points 1 month ago

That's fucking bleak. Isn't that a massive expansion of gitmo? I thought there barely weren't any interred there. This seems like a great excuse to mess more with Cuba too

[-] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 54 points 1 month ago

China it's time to step up and give Cuba a nuke

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 46 points 1 month ago

What will Cuba do with this news? I know theyre not in an ideal position to storm the base or whatever but I'm sure the occupation was at least begrudgingly accepted as long as it continued to wind down

Death to Amerikkka

Double capacity? Hold on Gitmo had a 15k person capacity? Holy shit.

The larger they make it. The harder it will be to close becauae of the money involved.

[-] dead@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The detention capacity of Guantanamo Bay currently is around 800. I think Trump was saying that the new 30,000 capacity detention center would double the detention capacity of ICE.

And then the US said to Germany, "We too, can do Auschwitz."
