    "Ibarra had been arrested for illegal entry in September 2022 near El Paso, Texas, and released to pursue his case in immigration court. Federal officials say he was arrested by New York police in August 2023 for child endangerment and released. Police say he was also suspected of theft in Georgia in October 2023 — all of which occurred before Riley’s killing. "

    This sounds a lot less like an immigration problem than a justice system problem

      Hmm…

      You know, it’s almost as if our justice system has just been letting criminals go…

      Especially ones who are repeat offenders…

      My guess is they’ll set up the “camp” as just an empty pen with no facilities. They’ll set it up right on the edge of the US control zone, and the fence along the border zone will be deliberately poorly made. They’ll throw people in this pen with no food or water, with the only way out being onto Cuban territory. Prisoners will have the choice of either dying of thirst or illegally crossing into Cuban territory. The whole facility will just be a way to dump migrants onto Cuban territory.
