  1. Are you a #democrat or a #republican that finds it disappointing that, whichever party is in power, we seem to go to #war a lot? Are you sick and tired of the whole #gitmo situation? Do you believe that people should be tried in a #court of #law and found #guilty before being punished?

    You just might be a #libertarian.

  3. …The plan also comes amid intensifying #legal efforts to block the admin from using #Guantanamo Bay to house #immigrant detainees altogether. A federal class-action lawsuit pending in Washington indicates that there are roughly 70 immigrant detainees currently held there & facing “punitive” conditions, such as insufficient food, weekly changes of clothes & rodent infestation.

  5. The discussions come as the #Trump admin presses #ICE for higher arrest numbers, w/snr policy adviser #StephenMiller calling for 3,000 #arrests a day. The agency is also tight on #detention space & pushing for funding from #Congress to hire more agents & expand domestic detention capacity.

  6. The official reason for the transfers is to free bed space at #detention facilities on domestic soil, but the use of the notorious facility, which has long housed #terrorism suspects, would also send another signal aimed at deterring illegal #immigration to the #US.

    The plans have come together only in the last few days & could still change, documents say. But #DHS may not notify the countries of the individuals affected in advance…

  7. The #Trump admin is planning to dramatically ramp up its transfer of undocumented #immigrants to #GuantanamoBay. Some 9,000 people are being screened, including hundreds from #Europe….

    That would be an exponential increase from the ~500 immigrants who have been held for short periods at the base since Feb & a major step toward realizing a plan Trump announced in Jan to use #Gitmo to hold as many as 30k immigrants.

  8. NOTE TO #FoxnewsSunday and host Shannon Breem:

    IF YOU ARE ON U.S. SOIL, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO #DueProcess!

    You DO NOT have to be a "citizen"... or even a "legal resident"... to be entitled to Due Process. It's A BASIC TENANT of our Founder's beliefs that everyone has a right to DP.

    THE ENTIRE REASON "#Gitmo" (a U.S. prison in Cuba) exists is to deny Due Process from people captured on the battlefield. #TooStupidForPolitics

  9. @AnnaAnthro
    #BlondieBondi still insist #KilmarGarcia is an #MS13 member, but refuses to produce any evidence to prove it, and refuses to take the case to court to prove same.

    According to the #Constitution (that thing Wingnuts kept insisting #Obama read): EVERY PERSON ON U.S. SOIL is entitled to #DueProcess.

    It's the very reason #Gitmo exists. B/c if they were on U.S. soil, they'd be entitled to trial.

    Before he was president, John Adams defended 8 Red Coats involved in The Boston Massacre.

  10. @rudepundit
    It's driving me insane that few note that "#DueProcess" is *literally* IN THE #CONSTITUTION.

    AND...

    It extends to EVERYONE ON U.S. SOIL (not just "citizens.") It's the entire reason "#Gitmo" exists. B/c if they were on U.S. soil, those prisoners would be entitled to Due Process.

    It also bans "cruel & unusual punishment". #Deporting people to a prison known for torture qualifies.

    The #Potus took an oath to "uphold the Constitution". This is unquestionably a violation. #Impeach

    The Failed States of America is a fascist zone with a growing number of political prisoners throughout this month.

    Kept in the states, #gitmo or #elsalvador or black sites that we don't know about.

    #dhs #ice #fbi whatever #gestapo shows up, your constitution has been de facto suspended when the executive branch ignores it. #1a #4a #14a are functionally dead.

    Get it yet?

  12. Is #Trump planning to declare #MartialLaw on April 20? The frightening claim, explored

    Story by Charlotte Simmons, March 14, 2025

    "First, the essentials. Martial law is the term for when civilian government and legal processes (such as mayoral jurisdiction and police officers, respectively) are overtaken by state military, so as to make demands on behalf of the nation’s leader, and then enforce those demands with their wealth of resources. Typically, martial law is invoked in dangerous situations, such as natural disasters or major #CivilUnrest.

    "This is different from the United States’ #InsurrectionAct, wherein those civilian enterprises are not replaced by military personnel and resources, but supplemented by them. More importantly, the official nature of the Insurrection Act allows the #POTUS to deploy the military domestically during emergencies, as the #PosseComitatus Act of 1878 prohibits the use of the military against American civilians. In short, the Insurrection Act can waive the rules of the Posse Comitatus Act to create a sort of #MiniMartialLaw. Remember this.

    "Recently, fears have been rising over whether or not the United States could enter martial law on April 20 under Donald Trump. But why then? What is it about April 20 that holds significance? When Trump first took office back on January 20, he signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency at the United States’ southern border, requiring the secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security to submit a report about what the 'situation' is at said border, together with recommended actions for 'resolving' said 'situation.' This report needed to be submitted within 90 days.

    "When this order was signed, Trump also declared that 'A #NationalEmergency exists at the southern border of the United States…I hereby declare that this national emergency requires use of the Armed Forces…' This, directly references the potential execution of the Insurrection Act.

    "The Secretary of Defense? #PeteHegseth. The Secretary of #HomelandSecurity? #KristiNoem. Two of Donald Trump’s most prominent yes-men. And guess how many days January 20 and April 20 are apart? Ninety.

    "So, essentially, on April 20, there’s a not-insignificant chance that those two aforementioned Trump yes-men are going to tell Trump whether or not he should deploy the military in the southern United States so as to crack down on immigration. Except, as we saw with the case of #MahmoudKhalil — a recent #ColumbiaUniversity graduate who played a major role in that student body’s recent #ProPalestinain campus occupations — it doesn’t matter if you have a green card or if you haven’t committed any crimes; under this presidency, #ICE will illegally detain you if they think you’re troublesome to the vision of #TrumpsAmerica. They’re trying to deport Khalil for speaking out against #genocide as we speak. This is a direct, wholly #unconstitutional attack on #FreeSpeech.

    "And here’s why that distinction between the Insurrection Act and martial law was so important earlier. On April 20, Trump will constitutionally — through the Insurrection Act — be allowed to deploy the military against #AmericanCivilians, and his government has already demonstrated that legal American civilians who have not committed any crimes are at risk for detention and deportation. It’s not technically martial law, but this #Trumpian cocktail is just as bad, if not worse.

    "#Khalil’s detention — again, occurring in response to his speaking out against the #genocide of #Palestinian people — was made on the grounds of Trump’s executive order prohibiting #AntiSemitism. How long before more executive orders (none of them made in good faith, let’s be clear on that) just so happen to limit more ways of speaking, acting, and thinking? A scary thought, and a horrifyingly pertinent one."

    I'm CONSTANTLY horrified & bemused by the same people who screamed "Read the Constitution!" every time a #Democrat was in the WH so CLEARLY never did so themselves.

    #TheFoundingFathers SO strongly believed EVERY HUMAN BEING HAS BASIC INALIENABLE RIGHTS, that the right to #DueProcess does NOT apply only to "citizens".

    THE ENTIRE REASON for having a prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (#Gitmo) was b/c if the prisoners were on U.S. soil, they'd have a right to a fair & speedy trial.

  14. 'The confinement is unbearable': #Migrants describe being held at #Guantanamo

    Two of the 170 migrants recently held there describe the conditions on the base.

    By Laura Romero, February 28, 2025

    "When Jose, a Venezuelan migrant who was seeking #asylum in the United States, was awoken by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official at 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 8, he sensed he was being sent to #GuantanamoBay, home of the notorious U.S. #PrisonCamp that administration officials said would house the most violent 'worst of the worst' migrants apprehended on American soil.

    "'When we got on the [military] plane, they put restraints on our hands, feet, and waist,' said Jose, who requested that his last name not be used out of fear of retribution. 'They searched us and then sat us in a chair, tying us to it and binding our feet together. We hoped it wouldn't be Guantanamo but in the end, that's where we ended up.'

    "Jose is one of the more than 170 migrants who spent two weeks at the naval base before being sent to #Venezuela. He told ABC News that while he had a suspicion he was being sent to Guantanamo, he claims U.S. officials never told him and the other migrants where they were being sent.

    "'Our minds were racing, thinking we were kidnapped, wondering who would get us out of there,' said Jose. 'Because no one tells you anything.'

    "Jose told ABC News that he had traveled to Mexico's northern border to wait for an asylum appointment that he requested through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection app, prior to it being shut down by the #Trump administration. After three weeks of waiting and 'no food or a place to stay,' he decided to surrender to authorities at the U.S. southern border. He was detained at a detention center until he was transferred to Guantanamo."
