If you don't live in DC, may be hard to appreciate scale of nihilist, grifter-based desecration of what has always distinguished the nation's capital, and what so many people have worked so hard for so long to sustain and improve. Backhoe-based counterpart to wartime damage we see in news footage.

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.

According to Mohamed, guards at Guantanamo have said they are being held there because that's what officials in Washington, DC, want. "There's no other nation, only Somali people in Guantanamo Bay, in the prison," he told me. "And when we ask them why we are here, they tell us... Washington...ordered to keep Somali people in the Guantanamo Bay."
