Donald opens up GITMO for deportation destination

https://bsky.app/profile/meidastouch.com/post/3lgvqk4bny22x

Migrant concentrations camps at Guantanamo Bay. Courtesy of Donald Trump.

Trump: 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

End snips

Guess he doesn't want to lose any more fights with countries that won't take his shackled immigrants/political enemies/citizens of US/veterans.

The Bimbo Blonde with the huge cross said yesterday? The Biden Admin was spending like a drunken Sailor? Trump is burning cash right and left on this shit show with an unlimited bank account, filled with our money. What’s the tab so far, and how much will GITMO cost our account, while he freezes any of it helping us survive.
As a Sailor that drank here and there, we never had any fucking money to spend, drunk or sober.
GITMO has a very good use ahead. To house trump and all his treasonous elected ass holes and these that were ever elected pulling the strings.

Congress, federal employees, and his whole cabinet?
How will Thomas fuel his bus ? Exxon free deliveries of “TIP” gifts. No taxes on TIPs either.

But it can. It's too expensive to deport this many people, detention camps will be filled, and then the abuses will start and atrocities are assured.

Apparently the idea was floated just hours earlier on Fox when Kilmeade brought it up to Noem…..

“Hours after the idea was floated on Trump's favorite morning show, the president revealed that he was indeed going to use the infamous prison camp to house tens of thousands of migrants — once again showing the Trump-Fox feedback loop in real-time.”

Various US administrations in the past have housed migrants at a facility called the Guantánamo Migrant Operations Center, or GMOC.
