…The plan also comes amid intensifying #legal efforts to block the admin from using #Guantanamo Bay to house #immigrant detainees altogether. A federal class-action lawsuit pending in Washington indicates that there are roughly 70 immigrant detainees currently held there & facing “punitive” conditions, such as insufficient food, weekly changes of clothes & rodent infestation.

Some 800 Europeans — including 1 Austrian, 100 Romanians & 170 Russians — are being considered for the transfers, acc/to one of the documents. That element of the plan has alarmed some US diplomats, who note that most #European countries are American #allies that are cooperative in taking back deportees & that there’s no need to send the people to #Guantanamo.

The discussions come as the #Trump admin presses #ICE for higher arrest numbers, w/snr policy adviser #StephenMiller calling for 3,000 #arrests a day. The agency is also tight on #detention space & pushing for funding from #Congress to hire more agents & expand domestic detention capacity.

The #Trump admin is planning to dramatically ramp up its transfer of undocumented #immigrants to #GuantanamoBay. Some 9,000 people are being screened, including hundreds from #Europe….

That would be an exponential increase from the ~500 immigrants who have been held for short periods at the base since Feb & a major step toward realizing a plan Trump announced in Jan to use #Gitmo to hold as many as 30k immigrants.
