Trump: Today I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the departments of defense and homeland security to begin preparing the 30,000 person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay
End snips
Guess he doesn't want to lose any more fights with countries that won't take his shackled immigrants/political enemies/citizens of US/veterans.

(10,650 posts)The Bimbo Blonde with the huge cross said yesterday? The Biden Admin was spending like a drunken Sailor? Trump is burning cash right and left on this shit show with an unlimited bank account, filled with our money. What’s the tab so far, and how much will GITMO cost our account, while he freezes any of it helping us survive.
As a Sailor that drank here and there, we never had any fucking money to spend, drunk or sober.
GITMO has a very good use ahead. To house trump and all his treasonous elected ass holes and these that were ever elected pulling the strings.

How will Thomas fuel his bus ? Exxon free deliveries of “TIP” gifts. No taxes on TIPs either.

(31 posts)Apparently the idea was floated just hours earlier on Fox when Kilmeade brought it up to Noem…..
“Hours after the idea was floated on Trump's favorite morning show, the president revealed that he was indeed going to use the infamous prison camp to house tens of thousands of migrants — once again showing the Trump-Fox feedback loop in real-time.”

(158,577 posts)The president has instructed officials to “begin preparing” a 30,000-person “migrant facility” at Guantánamo Bay. The list of concerns is not short.

President Donald Trump signed a memo Wednesday that sets in motion preparations for a facility to house thousands of migrants at the U.S. military camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, which he said was an effort to ‘halt the border invasion.’
He went on to say that this facility would detain “the worst” undocumented immigrants, adding that it would be “a tough place to get out of.”
The Republican has taken an interest in the base before. On the campaign trail in 2016, for example, Trump suggested he’d try to expand Guantánamo’s prison population, rather than try to shrink it. “We’re gonna load it up with some bad dudes, believe me, we’re gonna load it up,” he boasted at the time......
Nevertheless, newly sworn in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sat down with Fox News — the former television personality’s previous employer — for his first interview since joining the White House Cabinet, and he insisted that Guantánamo Bay “is a perfect place” for migrants.
He also clarified that the mass detention facility would be separate from the high-security prison used to house terrorism suspects.
It was also of interest, however, when Hegseth took a moment to claim, “This is not the camps. ... This is a temporary transit.”
Of course, if the administration intends to transport tens of thousands to a military facility on an island, officials shouldn’t be too surprised if the word “camps” comes up from time to time.
