Lord Steyn called Gitmo a ”legal black hole” and reminded us that habeas corpus was created in 1679 to prevent prisoners from being sent to remote islands, garrisons, and other places, thereby to prevent them from the benefit of the law.
Guantánamo continues to operate as a symbol of Islamophobia that embodies the fear-mongering & xenophobia that defines Trump’s presidency. When Trump revoked Obama’s order to close the prison, he opened the door for new era of human rights violations.
