While the Trump administration has highlighted transfers of dangerous criminals to Guantanamo Bay, it is also sending nonviolent, "low-risk" migrants.

Summary

Despite promises to detain only high-risk criminals, the Trump administration is also sending nonviolent, low-risk migrants to Guantanamo Bay, internal documents and officials confirm.

While gang members and violent offenders are housed in maximum-security cells, low-risk detainees—many with no criminal records—are placed in a barrack-like facility.

The administration is expanding detention capacity at the base, aiming to hold up to 30,000 migrants.

Civil rights groups have criticized the move, arguing it isolates detainees and undermines legal protections for asylum-seekers and migrants.

    First “Violent” undocumented immigrants.

    Then “Non-Violent” undocumented immigrants.

    Then trans people?

    Then documented but deemed undesirable immigrants?

    Maybe citizens who have done the worst possible crimes?

    Citizens who disagree too loudly with Trump or Musk?

    When do you suppose they’ll build the next camp?

    When do you suppose they’ll get to “the gays” or “the blacks?”

    When will they get to your neighbor? Or to you?

    When will it finally be enough for those who voted to put him in power? Ever?
