ProPublica and The Texas Tribune have identified nearly a dozen immigrants who have been flown to Guantanamo Bay. Government officials have refused to release the names of detainees or provide details about the crimes that landed them in detention.

    This should be more alarming to people as the government is rounding people up and sending them to black sites in a foreign territory. We don’t know who these people are, what they’re alleged to have done, whether they’re American citizens or not. Certainly they haven’t had trials or due process if they were just rounded up and shipped off.

      We had the same exact issue the first time around, nobody cared because it was “the bad people” being subjected to human rights abuses in Guantanamo.

    They’re not just poor, they’re super poor… Their masses are so huddled, they’re all huddle and no mass.

    They’re so in need and looking for refuge! You wouldn’t believe.

    They’re the worst of the worst. We have to lock them up!

    …so anyways, first we came for them. Please do nothing, because you’re not a refugee.

      Long term, this seems like a good way to create extremists. They must have hit a feedback loop in the minority report

    Weird Grok didn’t use “undesirables” in the government claims. Must be selectively trained on Clancy novels, rest his rotating corpse, instead of history.
