Summary

Trump’s plan to detain 30,000 immigrants at Guantánamo Bay faces major legal, financial, and logistical hurdles.

Costs are high, with military flights costing up to $27,000 per detainee. Facilities lack essentials like air conditioning and running water, failing ICE standards.

Legal challenges, including an ACLU lawsuit, cite inhumane conditions. Interagency conflicts have delayed implementation, and alternative U.S. military bases are being considered.

Amid criticism from human rights groups and international bodies, the administration is reassessing the plan, likely scaling it down or seeking domestic detention options.

Shut that damn place down. It is pathetic that Democrats did not do this.

... but not rethinking it due to the insanely illegal and unethical crime against humanity that it is. OK.

So they'll just make their concentration camps reside within U.S. borders.

They're evil, yes, but they're also stupid.

That will be much more convenient when they need an incarcerated workforce to pick the crops.

Or they'll look for some sort of final solution

TIL even ICE has standards, which I assume are for the guard towers.

The ICE policies and infrastructure wasn't originally setup to be the shithole it has become over the years.

Some of those minimum standards are still there in some places where they didn't get in the way of being pieces of shit.
