Trumpf Junta Wasted $21m to Fly 32 Migrants to Gitmo
At least $21 million was wasted transporting 32 migrants to Guantanamo Bay on military aircraft between 20 Jan and 8 Apr. The naval base there currently holds 32 migrants, a tiny fraction of the 30,000 that the junta leader promised. The average cost per flight hour for the military aircraft is about $26,277.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) denounced the use of US military assets and personnel for the mission.
"Every American should be outraged by Dotard Trumpf wasting military resources to pay for his political stunts that do not make us safer," Warren said. "US service members did not sign up for this abuse of power."
