      The administration is preparing to send thousands of foreigners to the infamous detention facility, including people from Britain, France and Italy, with no plans to notify their home governments.

      The Trump administration is preparing to begin the transfer of potentially thousands of foreigners who are in the United States illegally to the U.S. military base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, starting as early as this week, said U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
      The foreign nationals under consideration hail from a range of countries. They include hundreds from friendly European nations, including Britain, Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Poland, Turkey and Ukraine, but also other parts of the world, including many from Haiti. Officials shared the plans with The Washington Post, including some documents, on the condition of anonymity because the matter is considered highly sensitive.
      The administration is unlikely to inform the foreigners’ home governments about the impending transfers to the infamous military facility, including close U.S. allies like Britain, Germany and France, the officials said.

      The preparations include medical screening for 9,000 individuals to determine if they are healthy enough to be sent to Guantánamo, notorious for its history as a prison for suspected terrorists and others captured on battlefields in the aftermath of 9/11. Some of these details were reported earlier by Politico.

      It is far from clear if the facilities there can accommodate 9,000 new detainees, an influx that would amount to a massive increase from the several hundred migrants moved to and from the base earlier this year.
      But Trump administration officials say the plan is necessary due to a need to free up capacity at domestic detention facilities, which have become overcrowded amid President Donald Trump’s pledge to implement the biggest deportation of undocumented migrants in American history. A document reviewed by The Post said that “GTMO,” the government acronym for the base, “is not at capacity.”
      In January, Trump announced he would send as many as 30,000 migrants to the facility. Scores of migrants held at the base in March were sent back to facilities in Louisiana in a move critics of the administration’s immigration crackdown suspected was due to capacity issues.

      The Department of Homeland Security declined to comment. The White House did not provide comment.
      A defense official said that “ongoing missions at Naval Station Guantánamo remain unchanged, and we do not comment on any speculative future missions.”
      DHS intends to “minimize” the length of time detainees spend at the Caribbean base, but the White House could decide to use the facility for a longer-term detention, according to an official document.

      What the fuck? How the hell can anyone still see the US as a safe country? My attorney says this might be a hurdle getting my asylum case approved she’s mentioned about the US being on a safe country list in the UK. I feel like this week. My odds have increased tenfold. It’s absolutely mortifying to see everything going down. And I question when the US is going to be removed from that list.

      At this point if you go to US for ‘pleasure’, then you are seriously misjudging the risks. Enjoy in Guantánamo!

      This is something for which countries should consider ´recalling their ambassador for consultations´.

      Thats what happens when a half of Americans are completely clueless and portions of the other half didnt vote because of spite or because they were naive.

      MAGA is cracking down and running wild because leftists and minorities enabled them to do so.

      So what does this accomplish besides sending the message “Literally never set foot in the US or you will be stripped of all human rights and decency and tortured for weeks”?

      I think European countries do need a higher level of travel warnings.

      Or maybe the US should cancel the visa program to discourage unwitting travelers from visiting US/s
