When Dubya opened Gitmo, it contained around 800 prisoners.
When Obama left office, that number was down to 40.
Trump deleted the government office that works to release Gitmo prisoners and ignored it for his entire first term.
On Biden’s entry, he re-opened that office and by the end of his term, the total number of Gitmo prisoners has been reduced down to 15.
Trump has now ordered Gitmo to reopen for an additional 30,000 prisoners and will likely again kill the organization responsible for appropriately dealing with those prisoners.
I agree with you that this place should never have existed. I agree that we should destroy it. I only ask,as with most things today, that people pay attention to who has been trying to destroy it and who has been celebrating it.
Guantanamo never closed, having a torture camp is just too useful
