This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.

‘Musk’ film is almost four hours long, engrossing and terrifying. What to know.
The documentary paints the tech trillionaire as a power-hungry megalomaniacal conman with a god complex. Musk accuses filmmaker Alex Gibney of compiling "hit list" against him.

It's difficult to convey to people who haven't been paying attention that every single thing they are reading about the immigrant concentration camps has been happening in U.S. jails and prisons since their origin.
