Concentration camps with no regulations.
But it is soon to be closed I think, no?
- I hear Obama is working on it. He promised he would close it. I hear he even signed an executive order. But if he can't do it, I'm sure Biden can. One of the Democrat presidents since Bush opened it 25 years ago ought to be able to do it, for sure. Like what are the odds that in 25 years no president who said they would close Guantanamo bay would be able to do it ?
  I know the democratic party has shown a huge amount of incompetence by losing to Trump. Twice. But no way they would let that slide for 25 years, right?
  
  You need to elect 20 years straight of Democrat before they can do it. By not electing Hillary in 2016 the counter has been reset and it is all the voters fault.
  
  Look he really wanted to but the courts said no, then gop wouldn't let him and made him sign a bill to upgrade it, then he was foiled by trump undoing his EO right before he left office. Totally nothing else he could have done.
  Amazing how almost the exact same thing happened with Bidens student loan forgiveness. 🤔
  
  They should just admit they misplaced the keys and can't close it

  Repeat? It never ended.

  Neither of your linked articles say anything like that.
  The first article was published 2 months after Biden took office and says that his "administration has reversed a policy of turning away unaccompanied children at the border, instead opting to process them and place them with sponsoring families in the US." That takes time to set up even in emergency situations.
  The second article referred to children detained between June 2018 and October 2020, not during the Biden administration.
  Neither article says anything about present day detentions, or detentions taking place later in Biden's term.
