Summary
Akima, a U.S. government contractor with a history of alleged human rights abuses at migrant facilities, is now running the Guantánamo Bay migrant detention center under a $163.4 million contract.
Trump recently expanded the facility, sending over 150 migrants there, marking the first time individuals previously on U.S. soil have been transferred to Guantánamo.
Civil rights groups are suing for detainees’ access to legal representation, citing secrecy and concerns over conditions.
Reports indicate migrants are transported in black-out vans with restraints, raising transparency and human rights concerns.

Nobody with any respect for human rights would run a facility at Guantanamo, or be considered for that job. The asshole part, and of course Biden’s guilty of that, was not shutting Guantanamo entirely.
Congress wouldn’t approve the closure, which is why Biden kept it running. He played by the rules. Which, as we can see now, was never actually a limitation.
And Trump’s response to this article will be not, “we need a new contractor”, but, “we need to get rid of the Guardian”.
I’m surprised
Rights abuses…aren’t those required in Bronzo the Clown’s ameriKKKa?
