President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to expand the Migrant Operations Center at Guantanamo Bay, allowing for the detention of up to 30,000 high-priority criminal aliens. This move has sparked outrage, drawing parallels to the facility's grim history of torture and indefinite detention. Critics argue that Trump's labeling of undocumented immigrants as dangerous criminals perpetuates a dehumanizing narrative that paves the way for further abuses. The author recounts their own painful experiences as a detainee, emphasizing that Guantanamo's legacy of cruelty is alive and well, posing risks to human rights now more than ever.
Trump's decision to expand the Guantanamo Bay detention center for immigrants echoes historical injustices, framing the narrative of undocumented immigrants as dangerous criminals.
This policy shift underscores a moral failure, as it invokes the past horrors of Guantanamo while perpetuating human rights abuses under a guise of national security.
