Gitmo

I suspect that if he could, Trump would outsource our immigration machinery to places far worse than Gitmo, El Salvador and Rwanda, like Camp 14 in North Korea and Butyrka Prison in Russia.

By 2004, techniques from Gitmo had migrated to CIA-run “black sites,” a clandestine extrajudicial detention network in torture-friendly countries like Afghanistan, Poland, Romania, and Thailand.

By January 2025, only 15 detainees remained at the notorious Gitmo facility, but Trump wants to expand it to detain 30,000 migrants.

The popular destination is El Salvador, the new Gitmo and soon-to-be Super Max that will house American natural-born citizens — if Trump has his way.

However, Trump and Noem are about to find out why holding people at Gitmo is terrible policy.
