The Trump administration has begun flying undocumented immigrants from the US to a military detention facility at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said on Tuesday.
Leavitt told Fox Business Network that at least two deportation flights were “under way”, but gave no further details.
Her comments, however, appeared to confirm reporting by the Wall Street Journal, citing an anonymous official with knowledge of the operation, that about a dozen immigrants were onboard one flight from Fort Bliss, Texas. The newspaper said an additional flight had departed on Monday.
CNN later reported one of the flights had “about nine or 10” people onboard who were detained in the US without valid immigration documents.
confirming circular logic is circular… got it
No you don’t get it. They did this because the Bush administration didn’t want to confront the problem of potentially innocent people being murdered so they did nothing and other administrations chose to continue with that.
Sure these people should have been housed in the USA but can you imagine how few would live to see trial?
If this was their concern, why didn’t they just let them go? take them back where they took them from? after all, they didn’t have enough evidence to even charge them
Side note, you should really check your reasoning here bud. You are literally arguing that the USA, in an abundance of care for the safety of certain people, they took them and left them to rot in a concentration camp for decades…
They grabbed people ostensibly from battlefields. They aren’t collecting evidence in a firefight. This isn’t a cop tv show. Theoretically battlefield combatants do not have the rights you seem to think they do.
You should check your reading comprehension. I said they left these people to rot out of an unwillingness to confront the issue. Placing them in US prisons would mean most would be killed or harmed so instead of trying to resolve the issue the administration kicked the can to the next who did the same.
If you think Im defending this choice you are mistaken.
