About 300 servicemembers have landed at Bay to provide security & begin setting up at a new tent city [] for migrants, as ofcls comply w/ ’s order to prepare the Navy base for as many as 30k deportees.

…The operation will require a surge of staff & goods to the isolated base, which is behind a Cuban minefield & is entirely dependent on air & sea supply missions from the United States.

The small base in southeast Cuba is on the verge of undergoing its most drastic change since the Pentagon opened its wartime prison there after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Everything from…bottled water & frozen food for the commissary to school supplies & govt vehicles come 2X a month on a barge. Fresh fruits & vegetables for the 4,200 residents come on a weekly refrigerator flight.

Fulfilling ’s order could grow the population there tenfold because of the staff it would take to operate the encampment, which is on a unpopulated corner of the base, far from the prison & commissary, school & suburban-style neighborhoods for servicemembers & their families.

@Nonilex this is a combination crime against humanity and also massive scale infrastructure grift. Bet they need to contract out all those supplies, just like Covid.

Makes me wonder how long it will take for the first American citizens or permanent residents to wind up in Guantanamo without due process.
That isn't an "if," it's a "how soon."
