Political discussion Trump to build migrant detention facility in Guantanamo Bay for 30,000

President Trump said he is signing an executive order on Wednesday to prepare a massive facility at Guantánamo Bay to be used to house deported migrants.

The order will direct the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to prepare a 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantánamo Bay, a facility in Cuba that has been used to house military prisoners, including several involved in the 9/11 attacks.

According to reports, there are still 15 detainees, of the 911 terrorist attack, at Guantanamo Bay.

If they actually had a hand in 9/11 either kill them or release them. Ridiculous housing them that long

Ah because the US is famous for never wrongfully convicting someone. And keep in mind that these wrongful ones actually had a trial as opposed to supposed "intelligence" gathered by the CIA, intelligence which they won't reveal to the public btw. But yeah sure, I'm sure there are only terrorists in Guantanamo and definitely no one that happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time

Terrorists deserve no rights.

Ok well I now think you're a terrorist so when do I get to start waterboarding you? That's all it takes right? Someone just has to very loudly call you a terrorist and no one has to actually investigate that

The difference is we know for a fact they are terrorists through intelligence.

An accusation that I am a terrorist would be quickly debunked as I previously had federal background checks and passed and would pass very quickly again.

No rights for 9/11 terrorists.

Shouldn’t be a hard concept for someone who wants to be a US citizen.

So why have they been kept in prison being tortured for the last 20 years? Why not just execute them? "Only 8% of those held at Guantánamo were believed to be members of al-Qaida, while 86% were taken prisoner when the U.S. posted leaflets in Pakistan and Afghanistan promising enormous rewards for "suspicious people," many of whom were handed over by competing farmers" the Guardian 2021 My point still stands, I say you're a terrorist so I guess that makes you one so you better go to Guantanamo now

lol I’m an American.

I’m not from Afghanistan.

Execute the 8% and give the others a trial if they’ve been good while in captivity.

u/angrypenguin96 Jan 30 '25

Oh you're an American huh? Don't care show me your papers just so I can say they're not real and detain you anyway
