Trump’s Plan for Mass Detention at Guantánamo Has Happened Before. It Was a Disaster.

President Trump announced plans to detain up to 30,000 migrants at the Guantánamo Bay military base. In the 1990s, Haitian kids and teens known as the "ghosts of Guantánamo" were imprisoned at the notorious Camp Nine.

Trump to send criminal immigrants in US illegally to Guantanamo Bay

President Donald Trump on Wednesday used a signing ceremony for the Laken Riley Act to announce that his administration plans to send the “worst criminal aliens” to detention in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The bipartisan Laken Riley Act was the first piece of legislation that Trump has signed into law. It is named for a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student who was slain last year by a Venezuelan man in the U.S. illegally. The law makes it easier to deport immigrants in the U.S. illegally who have been accused of crimes. But Trump said some of the immigrants can't be trusted to not return, necessitating their lockup at Guantanamo. He later issued a presidential memorandum on Guantanamo.

Thank you! Just turned 64 & am so grateful for good health & strength that enables me to do lots of things co-workers half my age don't want to try. That's a gift AND a privilege I want to leverage to help people less able.

There's plenty to critique about this administration, but #ageism is a specious distraction. Focus on real problems!
