Sooknanan has denied the DHS motion to dismiss the case regarding the ICE use of the Gitmo detention center to hold tens of thousands of immigrants. The last count we got was they were holding around 500 detainees, and they are using Gitmo as a holding center while they wait for extradition to other countries.

Remember, Gitmo is the detention center where we keep alleged terrorists in what is basically a fenced dog kennel. They put them there in a US military prison within Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, on the coast of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba because it is a legal no man's land. If they brought them onto US soil, then our laws would apply, and they would actually have rights. By keeping them in Cuba, they faced military-style tribunals which were a total failure.

It was created in 2002 by George "Dubya" Bush who during the Iraq war gave out large cash bounties for anyone reporting a terrorist. The poor people in Iraq were turning in their own relatives (who were not terrorist) just in order to obtain the cash reward. Once the detainees were held in those terrible conditions, we radicalized them against the US, so the government was afraid to ever turn them loose again. Instead of stopping terrorists, the abuse at the facility actually became enemy propaganda fuel for creating thousands of new real terrorists. Gitmo has been a complete disaster, and Obama tried to close it, but Congress wouldn't let him. It still needs to be closed, and nobody should ever be detained there!

There will be a status hearing on the ICE case on Thursday, December 11th at 10AM. Here is the court docket:
