View submission: Trump administration sued over Guantánamo Bay migrant plan

Using Guantánamo Bay to detain up to 30,000 is expensive and dangerous.

• **Guantánamo Bay could be used for political and other prisoners** that have nothing to do with migration detention. The US government is not releasing details who they are detaining at Guantánamo Bay. Will anybody be informed when a detainee dies?
• **Detaining a large number people at Guantánamo Bay is going to be very expensive.** All food, medicines, clothing, etc will have to be shipped to Cuba.
• **Guantánamo Bay has very limited resources.** The US Naval facility supplies its own water and electricity. Nothing comes from Cuba.
• **Guantánamo Bay was hit hard by Hurricane OSCAR.** Putting people in tents could require a large sczale evacuation if another hurricane was hit it.

Pretty sure they don't care about food, meds and what not on the detainees side, nor the hurricane part cause they won't evacuate detainees. As you said, who will report if they died or even left? It'll be as if they disappeared altogether.
