And only $13 million per year in 2019, https://archive.ph/oOiK4 , per inmate that’s $390,000,000,000 per year. Sounds like a great use of tax payer money.
Let’s be realistic here…orange Don doesn’t expect any of those people to still be alive after a year, what with all the accidents involving upper storey windows that could just happen at any time, or maybe someone could call for a code red.
As an added note, they deported multiple children to Colombia the other day. Half the people they’ve arrested in specific areas have zero criminal records. Some are even US citizens. This is not for immigrants, this a Latino concentration camp.
I know two people first hand who have been here for over 30 years with no criminal records who are being detained. These are the people being sent to Guantanamo.
Source on citizens being rounded up?
Some are even US citizens.
Some are indigenous.

It’s “illegal” migrants now. But it will be us eventually! Do not let it get to that point. They did not win this election by a landslide, and they can only do as much damage as we let them!
It’s not eventually. The ‘problem’ with being overly aggressive on migration is how easy it is to ignore someone’s “documentation”. And then it is a quick move to a camp where they’ve determined that, for efficiency, you don’t have any right to representation. License? Fake. Passport? Fake.
This is a concentration camp, we’re past the point of calling.
So what are you going to do about it? Just sit there and let it happen?
It’s cute that you think senators have any power anymore. I’m guessing you think the next election won’t be Russia-style too.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, when will Americans understand this? Their political system is done, there’s no turning back at this point, it’s gone beyond the event horizon. The only question is how long will Americans continue to bicker and bitch while they see how much worse things get. You have concentration camps now, 10 days in, what will it take? Where is the line that they cross when you know they’re a threat to your life? When the soldiers are already banging your door?

Concentration camps killed and tortured millions.
The first concentration camps were established by the British during the Boer War. There were deaths from malnutrition and disease, but no poison gas or bullets in the head. More malign neglect.
Thank you for proving my point, bicker and bitch while you see how much worse things get it is then. Americans like you truly deserve what’s coming, because the rest of the world is trying to scream at you but “it’s not bad enough yet.” I’ll ask again, what will it take? Where is the line that they cross when you KNOW they’re a threat to your life?
So people should only start any action after the damage is done? After the torture and death of millions? Because only then it is undeniably similar to WW2 concentration camps. I would propose not to wait for that.
Concentration camps killed and tortured millions.
At this point, you’re very much still exaggerating.
This is exactly how it happened.
From its rise to power in 1933, the Nazi regime built a series of incarceration sites to imprison and eliminate real and perceived “enemies of the state.” Most prisoners in the early concentration camps were political prisoners—German Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats—as well as Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah’s Witnesses, gay men and men accused of homosexuality, and persons accused of “asocial” or socially deviant behavior. Many of these sites were called concentration camps. **The term concentration camp refers to a camp in which people are detained or confined, usually under harsh conditions and without regard to legal norms of arrest and imprisonment that are acceptable in a constitutional democracy. **
Explain to me how sending people to Guantanamo Bay, already infamous for torturing inmates, is somehow not exactly this?
I cannot BELIEVE people will hand wave stuff like this or Elon’s Nazi salute so we have to wait until they’ve killed a million people before we’re ALLOWED to say what we KNOW is happening.
You have this beautiful, nearly unique concept called the second amendment.
Man, the place is gonna so quiet without all the US citizens, we’ll finally be able to talk about stuff that isn’t related to the US!
Like how your country is going in the same direction they did!
America’s first camp…in 83 years.
Thanks conservatives.
It won’t be the last
Bloody sickening.
The way I understand it we have these places in the US call prisons and they are used to house criminals. I guess the only problem with that is in order to put people in them they have to be guilty of a crime.
Well, they also dont allow torture and murder.
Edit: Wait, yeah they do. Rape too.
I’m sure imprisoning 30000 innocent people next to highly trained terrorists won’t come back to haunt the US.

Newsflash about the current inmates of Guantanamo
Americans. You have a second amendment and a right to utilize that amendment against tyranny.
Exercise your right. In 4 years you won’t have a country that even remotely resembles what is supposed to be America and the land of the free.
Take down the nazis, destroy facism. Fight the power!
The 2nd amendment was intended to provide a way for citizens to defend themselves from the British, when the US had no standing army. To implement it in modern times when the police are militarised, and soldiers have drones…would be nothing less than suicidal.
I get what you’re saying, but 2 things.
Americans hold onto the 2nd ammendment like it’s still needed when clearly the British aren’t the issue.
More importantly ,by doing nothing, this is how facism explodes. Enjoy.
The shock and awe actions of his first week have worked and I’m left feeling that the fascists have won. They’ve already gained power and there’s nothing left that can be done to stop them.
Oh yeah, that place Joe Biden ran on closing (archived) and then promptly forgot about, cool cool cool
I’m definitely not voting for him now.
Good because if you did it would mean that you LoVe GeNoCiDe
Now we get both foreign and domestic genocide! Best of both worlds.
That’s what so many people tried to tell these dumbasses (that weren’t just plants), but nooooo, they wanted to lecture everyone on how pure and holy they were by not voting for anyone, because “genocide”.
Cool.
I’m so glad I remained morally pure!!
Fuck both of those shitty plutocrat parties, all the time.
And by “forgot about,” you mean negotiated the release of 65% of the prisoners? He was literally on pace to clear the place out in his second term. But you knew that, I’m sure.

The place Obama said he would close and didn’t? That place!
Both the most US thing you could possibly do AND a gross violation of what the US aspires to be.
I’m still not clear what the first “A” in maga is supposed to reference, seeing what’s happening these days. All I know is that it’s clearly not “America” or a reference to the US.
“Again”
It’s the “G” that’s confusing you. “Great” in this context means “Christian White Nationalist.”
Aryans
as in Make Aryans Great Again which I get as a valid concern for them because of how pathetic and hateful right-wing white nationalist jerks are. I mean have you ever actually spent 5 minutes listening to JD Vance? I can feel my masculinity deflating in real-time into a weird smelly ingrown hatred of women and I have to shut if off before my skin begins to crawl…
spits on ground
Oops look at me I meant to spit on A’murica but I must have missed because I hit stolen indigenous land that was brutally and horrifically stolen from the hands of normal, good people who looked a bit different and lived (and yet live) in funny houses.
…and then twice stolen from immigrants who came here and were desperate (and at times foolish) enough to believe they would be included in the prosperity they spent extraordinary amounts of effort building…
… (or they were just kept in chattel slavery/a series of disgusting echoes of it)
Third time is the charm?
*aspired
This is the Bibby Stockholm all over again
And then the US said to Germany, “We too, can do Auschwitz.”
They think the problem with Auschwitz is that people could see it.
Concentration camp/torture camp.
Lots of people fantasize about what they might do if they had the opportunity to act to stop what was happening in WWII Germany but here we are.
Its worse in some ways, the US is a far bigger country. While the 3rd reich destroyed their economy under the repayment plans of WW1 The US seems to be committing a similar kind of economic suicide with absolutely zero pressure to do so.
All the big, strong, don’t-tread-on-me styled people just rolling on their backs and showing their bellies to fascism. What a time to be alive, at least Germans of the 1920s-30s didn’t have a direct case study to refer to.

Guantanamo Bay… the blacksite for literal terrorists that is considered highly controversial for literal terrorists? What the actual fuck.
The blacksite for innocent people kidnapped and tortured for 20+ years by the US without allegations and then released*
Indeed, not that it wasn’t actually filled with victims, more that people who think it specifically houses terrorists think it is unfit/illegal for that purpose.
Are they just reviewing all the accusations they made about Democrats over the past few years and just using that as a template for what they want to do.
