NYT: When you write articles like this, can you remind Americans, the insane expense it costs to put migrants in Gitmo?
177 migrants were sent there for 2 1/2 weeks and it cost taxpayers over $196 million dollars.
Add up the millions of dollars in backtracking, rehiring, repairing & fixing his fuckups and we'll have saved nothing, destroyed everything and quadruple costs just to rebuild.
Post THAT on your DOGE site FElon
Yep Musk cut back on healthcare, USAID, pensions, daycare, education, cancer research and more, meantime, Trump spending $16 million on deportation costs which is now holding 40 people who are about to be released! Yep they’re really saving a lot of money! Well done!
I think he should. $16MM they all could have taken a summer vacation in France and had lots of money leftover. It would have been less terrifying too. This administration is acting illegally and is cruel and wasteful at every turn. This Republican waste needs to go against the “savings” from Doge.
Maybe Felon47 didn't have the $$ to operate YET because he keeps having to delay his tariff scheme to keep the stock market from crashing more. CBP * collects * tariffs, shares ICE offices. Treasury regulates tariffs...but wi/this admin's lack of transparency, constant lies=slush fund? Follow all $$
Slashing tires and pulling people out of cars. People have to make sure their addresses are up to date but then it's a roadmap to their house so this is going to be a really difficult time for people who came to this country. Also need their registration on them at all times.
The whole Guantanamo fiasco cost US (you and me) millions of dollars. We might as well have burned it. No way to make any sense of dismantling needed services for “savings” with one hand while you pick our pockets for sycophantic photo ops with the other.
Press: Let's get estimates of what all this incompetent, inefficient and ineffective Trump/Musk nonsense is costing. It's not efficient to do incompetent things.
Because it’s illegal and they know it.
What a WASTE of taxpayer money & for what? Absolutely nothing but to showcase the cruelty of this administration, but I guess that’s the point. Reprehensible embarrassment to the United States.
They know that every action that they've taken since the Felon President took power is illegal and are hoping to avoid the consequences.
The legal challenge must go ahead, even if "they've stopped doing that" since it could resume any day.
Just like when DOGE fires people and needs to rehire them, now the admin is having to re-admit—is that what it’s called?—people in deportation camps, because the deportation was challenged/illegal.
The incompetence is off the charts. Just another day in #trumplandia
No plans, no careful thought, no adherence to law. Just impulsive and rash moves disrupting everyone's lives like they are playing a game with toys, not human lives.
If they aren’t his friends or workers who are enriching his livelihood, they are not human in his eyes. He’s a nasty, evil man who only thinks of himself.
Welcome to the new normal, where nothing heinous that Donnie and his rabid collection of criminals and radicals do is off limits until someone stops them.

How much did this exercise cost? Transporting these people to Guantanamo, feeding them in Guantanamo, flying them back to the mainland? A complete waste of money plus probably illegal. Let’s see the detailed costs please.
They are uncharged and need to be released. Not a single individual illegally incarcerated at fascism central in Guantanamo Bay has ever been linked to anything. Oh btw the military used 24/7 medical mask wearing (by prisoners) as a torture method. Sound familiar?
I am changing my party affiliation to independent. I have zero faith in the Democrats… I’m actually embarrassed to be a democrat. Democrats in Washington are a disgrace to We The People. Spineless, worthless. POS
I can go with ANYTHING other than republican or democrat. Actually. America no longer exists. We are a Russian State. If you knew the history of tRump you would understand this.
AMERICA IS OVER! We are done. I’m guessing 95% of republican MAGA have been compromised. They are working for Putin.
Two Words. Shit & Show. Everything about this asshole Trump and his asshole fucking with the border and this asshole deportation abortion. Maybe them DOGE assholes should be running a tab on this cluster fuck. That asshole Elon could use a distraction from his fake car stock taking it in the ass!
If it’s “intentional”, they consider it a success. The Project 2025 team has been very “successful” at destroying our democracy. These are some of the darkest days in our history.
There is literally nothing that Trump could do, short of hurting their loved ones right in front of them, to make them think otherwise. They want people to suffer.
Oh just another break and see if they notice thing. And if we do notice, just reverse and like it didn't happen. No lives impacted by this at all.. or millions spent to run the facility for this or millions to transport the legal but "noncompliantly documented transitional citizens" - better label.
Trump thinks he has the power to jail whoever he wants without a court hearing. I don't think that "the people" will sit quietly and allow this to just happen.
Not a thing. He only cares about what he’s saving…which is $0. By the time his mistakes are fixed, everything DOGE has done will have cost more than just leaving it alone.
It costs more to undo all the mistakes and pay the pensions, hire new employees when the courts rule in the People’s favor.
Which cost HOW much to do? For an Administration so concerned about 'cutting costs' they sure like to waste money on stuff like this and flights to go play golf...
The Trump shit show has wasted millions of your dollars with this stunt but that's ok with him. He's good at spending your money, blathering nonsense, seeking praise and subservience from everyone. And his cover is that ELON MUSK is discovering fraud. The ONLY frauds are Trump and Musk.
Talk about waste! Trump used C130s to transport as few as 9 detainees at a flying cost of over 28,000/hr vs the standard ICE transport for 8000/hr and admitted done for optics, multiple times. None of this is about waste, fraud, and abuse.

Guessing it’s very fucking expensive to fly ppl to Guantanamo.
Derp, derp
Good thing the US military bailed them out and sent 1000 troops there, or this debacle would've blown up big time.
MAGAs are the most clueless fucks.
Due process lands them where I believe they belong.
So much losing.
We can't afford the production costs of the theater of the Reich of the Orange Felon.
Shameful and criminal.
4-5 at a time in $300,000 to $3,000,000 flights in C-130 Hercules and C-17 Globemasters??
Gotta be efficient.. right??

The difference is President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho wasn't smart, but he knew who *was* smart.

They do not know what they are doing. At all!
Pretty darn costly ‘experiment’ not merely in terms of taxpayer $$ wasted.

$16MM so far. Any savings from DOGE needs to be deducted from this blatant waste of taxpayer money.
VERY EFFICIENCY
SUCH NOT WASTED MONEY
