President Trump has announced his intention to send 30,000 undocumented migrants to Guantanamo Bay, sparking controversy over the conditions and legality of such a move. The plan involves expanding the Guantanamo Migrant Operations Center (GMOC), which has faced criticism for its inadequate facilities and treatment of detainees.
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump has said he wants to send 30,000"criminal illegal aliens" to the notorious Guantanamo Bay US military base in Cuba.
In the 1990s, it was used to house tens of thousands of Haitians and Cubans who fled crises in their homelands. But Deepa Alagesan of the New York-based International Refugee Assistance Project says migrants are already being held"in inhuman conditions, and expanding the facility will be nothing short of disastrous."
He explained there was leeway under domestic and international law to detain migrants administratively for short periods of time until they can be sent back to their home countries. "When detention becomes prolonged and indefinite and untethered from proper oversight, it violates human rights and may amount to torture," said Frelick.
