    Man that was fast. People were saying detention camps would be coming after a while but Trump beat the odds again. Immigrants sent to torture camps, and it didn’t even take a month.

      I don’t think he’s sending them there to torture them, but to minimize how much money is spent on their care (which in itself is torture I suppose). Migrant children held in US territory are entitled to education and pediatric care - not sure that applies if they’re in Cuba. Extremely fucked up either way.

    Well, conservatives got their immigration final solution. Just treat abused asylum seekers and potential immigrants like sub-human trash that we stuff into a memory hole. Certainly making America great, aren’t we.

      At this rate, it won’t be long before their final solution includes LGBT people.

    Recommenting from another post

    I sent a text to those I love in any capacity, even former coworkers who’ve probably deleted my number. Not a group text - one by one. I think it’d be prudent for all US readers to consider doing the same.

    Knowing some of you are like me, in that you might not know how to word such a text to someone not expecting it from you, I offer you my copy/pasted text:

    America has a concentration camp now. I won’t send you anything more…it’s kind of rude that I’m sending this one. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/donald-trump-announces-plan-to-send-migrants-guantanamo-bay/
