Trump administration empties Guantnamo of migrants, flies all back to US

(The Hill) The Trump administration’s plans to detain migrants in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, hit another roadblock this week after all 40 such individuals held there were sent back to the United States, with no future deportation flights scheduled to the island.

A Defense official confirmed to The Hill Thursday there are “zero” migrants being held at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, including a group of 23 “high threat” individuals held at the detention facility on base and 17 others who were detained at the migrant operations center there.

The official did not say where the men had been moved to, but multiple outlets reported they were transported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) aircraft Tuesday and relocated to one or more of the agency’s facilities in Louisiana.

repubes are tickled pink to squander our taxpayer dollars on bullshit sideshows to "enhance" the illusion of their "manliness."

Yet another unnecessary item on the long list of things inflicted upon others at taxpayer expense.

Yet when you point out the expenses they rack up, their minions defend them tooth and nail.

Trumpers literally say he deserves to spend millions every weekend on golf because he works so hard and earns it.
