In a new filing today, the government says 51 of the 178 undocumented migrants transported to Guantanamo Bay so far have been designated "low-threat."

President Trump said Guantanamo would be used to hold the "worst criminal aliens" threatening the U.S.

I dont understand why no one gets the jist. It is absolutely about charging the govt a per head fee for profit. It is a win win for these lowlifes. Charge to transport ,build,house,feed,administrate . Also supply the gear for the brownshirts. All nice and tidy quid pro quo deals.

Never fear they will be going after brown, black and white citizens and non citizens. We are all targets.

-Guantanamo isn’t the place for undocumented immigrants. It is for people who want to overthrow our government.

Trump is destroying this country in the cruelest possible manner.

It is another way to terrorize us so we won’t speak out. Putting dissidents in Gitmo or prison in El Salvador is the plan to cement power.

Not so sure. I fully expect people in the resistance to start getting swept up in these raids and it will be almost impossible to reach them.

Lot easier to disappear people if they're not in CONUS also.

Playing up the militarized and international nature of deportation flights helps support his “National Emergency” narrative, and allows him to develop and expand internal and external detainment camps.
