Summary

The Trump administration spent $16 million setting up a migrant detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, but all detained migrants have since been transferred to Louisiana.

Trump had planned to detain up to 30,000 undocumented immigrants at the base, but reports indicate no clear plan for such an expansion.

Lawmakers criticized the effort as costly and inefficient. The ACLU called it illegal and unnecessary.

With no further migrant transfers planned, some U.S. troops sent to Guantanamo may be reassigned to border operations.

    I mean, not everyone in prison is innocent. Some of them are cartel members, face tats and all. But I guess, statistically speaking, quite a few probably weren’t actually guilty of what they were put in for. Best not to think in absolutes.

      I think that everyone in a rigged system designed for their failure cannot be fairly judged by that system, and I assume innocence until proven otherwise.

      This doesn’t make you a gang member, please don’t stereotype.
