Unpacking Trump’s plan to hold immigrants at Guantanamo Bay
ABC News 01-29-2025
“What it is is a place where, repeatedly, the United States has sought to place individuals without the kinds of protections by law that they have in the United States on the homeland, as we’ve seen with the detention of war on terror detainees.
