Summary

A government memo obtained by CBS News reveals that the Trump administration established broad rules for detaining migrants at Guantanamo Bay, allowing officials to send non-criminal detainees there despite previous statements suggesting the base would only hold dangerous criminals.

The memo outlines criteria for detention based on a migrant’s connection to transnational criminal organizations or drug activity, rather than criminal history.

This policy has faced scrutiny and legal challenges, with advocates arguing for improved conditions and due process for detained migrants.

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said, “Gitmo is open.”

    I don’t live there, and Americans should clean up their own mess for a change. Aren’t there like 11 guns per American? Remind me the reason why Americans allowed kids to be smashed to pieces by AR-15’s in their schools?

      I’m not American either but I’d rather they get the shit started so they can avoid invading my country. And then when they do we can be assured to be prepared properly not hanging out with our asses in the wind. They will also have battled a protracted fight at home in turn helping our military and volunteers. So yea get started.
