Over 150 marines sent to Cuba to turn the base into a detention centre for those seeking a new life in the United States. The White House proudly announces this, ignoring controversy

Donald Trump’s hard line on immigration goes further, turning back the clock of history. Over 150 US marines have landed at the Guantanamo base in Cuba to turn it into a new detention centre for undocumented migrants. A return to the darkest years of American politics, where the solution to the migratory phenomenon always seems to be the same: cages, prisons and rejections.

The announcement did not come with an official statement or press conference, but with a post on Instagram from the White House, almost as if to normalise the decision: ‘US Marines have arrived at Guantanamo Bay to support the Department of Defence and the Department of Homeland Security in expanding the migrant operations centre and carrying out President Trump’s mission to protect Americans’.

The message is clear: the US is not welcoming, it is closing its doors. Trump, true to his anti-immigration rhetoric, makes no distinction between refugees, asylum seekers or people fleeing war and persecution. For him, the solution is simple: build walls, erect detention camps and exploit facilities created for quite different purposes.

Guantanamo, in fact, is a name that conjures up images of torture, prisoners without trial and human rights abuses. It had already been used in the 1990s to hold Haitian and Cuban migrants in inhuman conditions, before becoming the prison-symbol of the post-9/11 ‘war on terror’. Now, with Trump back in charge, history is likely to repeat itself, with a new chapter of suffering for those who only hope for a better future.

While the president insists on ‘protecting Americans’, the big question remains: who will protect migrants from a policy that treats them as enemies?
