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.

Some were probably in the U.S. legally. Some are probably citizens who were caught speaking Spanish and being brown in public. And if that isn't true yet, it almost certainly will be soon.
