'The confinement is unbearable': Migrants describe being held at Guantanamo
6h

When Jose, a Venezuelan migrant who was seeking asylum in the United States, was awoken by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official at 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 8, he sensed he was being sent to Guantanamo Bay, home of the notorious U.S. prison camp that administration officials said would house the most violent "worst of the worst" migrants apprehended on American soil.
 
"When we got on the [military] plane, they put restraints on our hands, feet, and waist," said Jose, who requested that his last name not be used out of fear of retribution. "They searched us and then sat us in a chair, tying us to it and binding our feet together. We hoped it wouldn't be Guantanamo but in the end, that's where we ended up."

Jose is one of the more than 170 migrants who spent two weeks at the naval base before being sent to Venezuela. He told ABC News that while he had a suspicion he was being sent to Guantanamo, he claims U.S. officials never told him and the other migrants where they were being sent.

What's "disturbing" about criminals being processed like criminals?

To the woke, there are no criminals, only victims.

Yep, some countries would simply shoot them and throw them in shallow graves for invading.
