He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

A reminder: the GWBush Admin built a prison at Gitmo not because of its size or facilities, but on the theory that because it was not in the US, US laws would not apply, and because US didn't recognize Cuban sovereignty over it Cuban law didn't either. It's a stateless, lawless zone of impunity.
Trump: Today I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the departments of defense and homeland security to begin preparing the 30,000 person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay
