Migrants Describe What Is Happening at Guantanamo Bay....Cruelty On A Massive Scale, Migrants Trying To Commit Suicide

[Seymour Flops]

The U.S. sanctions on Venezuela have crippled that country. The Washington Post had an article recently stating that they are the most devastating sanctions in U.S. history and they started in Trump's first term.

And that is a major reason why so many Venezuelans have fled the country to the U.S.

OMG, Crippling sanctions!

How long did Biden take to end them?

OMG, Crippling sanctions!

How long did Biden take to end them?

Biden was too busy buying oil from them.

OMG, Crippling sanctions!

Biden considered easing the sanctions, because his advisors told him that it was going to lead to more illegal immigrants from Venezuela.

And his advisers were correct.

America is at the root of creating their own problems.

But in the real world the need for cheap labour is dictating the reverse of what Truimp tricked the Magas into believing.

Racism and America are synonymous!

They'll shoot each other to death in the streets before they ever accep the truth on the need for social reform.

 

[Zafira Cherry]

The cruelty is the point...it always has been with Trump and his deranged MAGA supporters. You people are not the "good guys", no matter how much you try to lie to yourselves.

I'm willing to bet most of the people being sent to Guantanamo don't even have criminal records.

You are preaching to the most repulsive voters ever.

 

[Clipper]

Cry me a river. Send em home. no need to waste money holding em unless they have a criminal record

It's no good scum like you who are the reason Hitler was able to extinguish the lives of millions of people in death camps.

Sadism becomes you.

 

[Clipper]

No ice cream and blowjobs for criminal aliens?

Oh, the horror.

Typical response from a MAGA playing follow the leader.

How do you like the taste of your own ass?

A migrant originally from Venezuela, Diuvar Uzcátegui, described to the Washington Post what is happening at Guantanamo Bay. He was arrested in El Paso in late January, while working in construction. He had no criminal record at all. He fled Venezuela to escape the misery being caused there by dictator Nicholas Maduro.

He had been cooperating with ICE agents since December 2023, when he crossed the border illegally. He was informed by ICE that he missed an appointment with them in late January, which he denies, and that is when he was arrested by ICE and sent to Guantanamo. He then spent two weeks there before being sent back to Venezuela, almost losing his mind in the process.

The migrants are spending almost 24 hours per day in an isolated cell. They are allowed to go outside once per week. Psychologists have stated for years that prolonged isolation like this in a jail cell can cause people to lose their grip on reality. Several migrants have tried to kill themselves by various means, as described below.

This is straight out of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, treating human beings like this.

From the Washington Post. --

Uzcátegui, José Daniel Simancas and Franyer Montes said they were denied calls to lawyers or loved ones after repeated pleas. They said they were subjected to humiliating and invasive strip searches. They described prolonged periods in isolation, with only two one-hour opportunities to go outside over two weeks.

Their testimonies echoed the fears expressed by human rights groups — that migrants transferred to a place known for its isolation and history of torture allegations could be vulnerable to abuse.

The migrants’ conditions in Guantánamo “were horrific, and are far more restrictive, more severe and more abusive than what we would see in a typical immigration detention facility in the United States,” said Eunice Cho, a senior staff attorney at the ACLU National Prison Project. The American Civil Liberties Union is one of many organizations that sued the administration to allow legal access to the migrants.

The migrants described being supervised by military guards, a concern for legal rights groups that have stressed that immigrants are there because of a civil, immigration violation, not alleged war crimes like the 9/11 detainees. Blurring the lines between civilian and military enforcement, Cho said, encroaches “on the division between civil society and militarized society.”

“At the end of the day, military staff are not supposed to be enforcing civilian law, which is immigration law,” Cho said. “And by placing military guards to detain people in detention, that is exactly what is happening.”

Cho said the migrants’ alleged days-long stretch in their cells also fits the definition of solitary confinement as laid out by the United Nations’ Nelson Mandela Rules, which define it as holding prisoners for more than 22 hours per day without “meaningful human contact.”

In the days that followed, more migrants began filling the naval station prison. Uzcátegui could hear men screaming from other cells, he said, pleading to be let out and threatening to kill themselves.

“Get me out of here,” he heard one scream again and again. “I’m going to kill myself.”

Franyer Montes, 22, said he reached a point in his 13-day incarceration when he considered taking his own life. Thoughts of his mother and child held him back.

José Daniel Simancas was one of the detainees who tried to kill himself during his 10-day stay there. He attempted to cut his wrists with plastic water bottles that he had tried to sharpen. But the edges didn’t cut deep enough, he said. He and the other migrants interviewed for this story said they had seen or spoken with at least two other men who acknowledged trying to end their own lives.

“One tried to hang himself with the sheet, but he couldn’t tie it to the table because it was too small,” Simancas said. “Another swallowed 10 screws, and they took him to the emergency room several times.”

He added, “We all thought about killing ourselves.”

Don't come into the US illegally and you won't end up in Guantanamo

Don't care you wouldn't be at Guantanamo if you stayed in Venezuela

You are preaching to the most repulsive voters ever.

It's a thankless job....somebody has to remind them how morally vacant and fucking horrible they are.

That's awful!
I hope they tell all their friends back home how mean Trump is.
All the other illegal aliens should start looking for a ride home.
Wouldn't want to go to Gitmo, eh?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The only one who needs help is you, troll.

Here you are....cheerleading the brutal treatment of non-violent illegal immigrants to the point that they want to kill themselves.

You are evil and sick in the head. Some Christian you are.

Everyone that kills himself is opening up a space for another criminal invader. Taking a page from Canada's playbook, suicide should be encouraged.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Typical response from a MAGA playing follow the leader.

How do you like the taste of your own ass?

So eloquently stated.

You sold me.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Don't care you wouldn't be at Guantanamo if you stayed in Venezuela

Well, you are a Nazi....of course you feel that way.

The Jan 6 traitors would not have ended up in jail if they hadn't broken the law, either.

 

[Rogue AI]

Blah blah blah....the cruelty is the point.

Migrants with no violent criminal record trying to commit suicide after being at Guantanamo a few days gives you a stiffy.

The mentally unstable subject of the sob story is unlikely to be a fair arbiter of what is or isn't cruelty. You loony liberals still think, 'because I say so' is a valid argument without any proof. How sad.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

And his advisers were correct.

So you are at least admitting that the "immigrants" are illegal.

He isn't the only one who has tried to commit suicide, imbecile. As the story discusses.

I have no problems with people who broke into the Capitol getting arrested. I have a problem with people sneaking into the US unchecked

Is there point buried up your MAGA gomer ass somewhere? Of course they are illegal.
