Trump’s Planned Gitmo Expansion: A Concentration Camp?
President Trump announced plans to construct a massive 30,000-bed migrant detention center in Guantanamo Bay, echoing a similar facility built during the Clinton administration. This new facility dwarfs previous detention centers, exceeding the capacity of even infamous internment camps. Unlike the Clinton-era facility, ostensibly for processing immigrants, Trump’s plan openly aims to detain those he labels as criminal threats, further solidifying his anti-immigrant rhetoric. This action represents a significant escalation in anti-immigrant sentiment, potentially leading to harsher treatment and fewer rights for undocumented individuals.
