Like his predecessors, President Trump has plans for Guantánamo Bay. It is somewhat odd, when you think about it, that the U.S. possesses a little sliver of Cuba that our country uses as a military prison.
In their nearly one-year detention at the base, the children had seen thousands of Cuban migrants hauled by the US Coast Guard to Guantánamo and eventually paroled into the US. The NAACP called the Camp Nine youth the “ghosts of Guantánamo:” yet another episode in the US’ “pattern of institutionalized historical discrimination” against Black migrants.
The Trump administration has said little about the Venezuelan men who were transferred from Texas to the U.S. military base in Cuba.
