Washington Post: Trump to ramp up transfers to Guantánamo, including citizens of allies

Plans show the administration is preparing to send thousands of foreigners to the infamous detention facility, including people from Britain, France and Italy, with no intent to notify their home governments.

The Trump administration is preparing to begin the transfer of potentially thousands of foreigners who are in the United States illegally to the U.S. military base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, starting as early as this week, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

The foreign nationals under consideration hail from a range of countries. They include hundreds from friendly European nations, including Britain, Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Poland, Turkey and Ukraine, but also other parts of the world, including many from Haiti. Officials shared the plans with The Washington Post, including some documents, on the condition of anonymity because the matter is considered highly sensitive.

The administration is unlikely to inform the foreigners’ home governments about the impending transfers to the infamous military facility, including close U.S. allies such as Britain, Germany and France, the officials said.

France 24: Stockholm is latest city to refuse ‘bizarre’ US request to abandon diversity

The Stockholm City Council has rejected the US embassy’s demand that it adopt the Trump administration’s anti-diversity policies, with Stockholm’s vice-mayor for planning calling the request “bizarre”. Several European nations and cities have slammed US efforts to force its anti-DEI policies on the continent.

Presumptuous idiots!!!!!!!!!!

In an email to the city’s planning office dated April 29, the US embassy asked that Stockholm officials sign a document promising that contractors would not operate any programmes promoting DEI that would violate current US law.

“It’s so bizarre,” Jan Valeskog, Stockholm’s vice-mayor for city planning, told the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter on Tuesday.

The city council said Friday that it would not comply with the embassy’s demands or offer an official response.

“We were really surprised, of course,” Valeskog told The Associated Press.

“We will not sign this document at all, of course not.”

New York Post: Marco Rubio’s bodyguard arrested in Brussels after ‘behaving erratically’ and brawling with cops at hotel bar

A bodyguard in Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s security detail was arrested after “behaving erratically” at a hotel in Brussels and fighting with police officers in the Belgian capital, according to reports.

The experienced agent in the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) was cuffed last Monday after becoming irate when staff at the iconic Hotel Amigo refused to reopen the bar after hours, the Washington Examiner reported.

The bodyguard then became physically aggressive when staff, including the hotel night manager, tried to persuade him to return to his room, sources told the outlet.

The Trump administration upholds its image as a bunch of ill-disciplined, mishbehaving thugs. This bozo should request a lateral transfer to ICE — he’ll fit right in.

Wall Street Journal: Hegseth Brought His Wife to Sensitive Meetings With Foreign Military Officials

Defense secretary’s handling of sensitive information is under fire after he shared details about a strike on Houthi militants in a group chat on a widely used app

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is facing scrutiny over his handling of details of a military strike, brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions.

One of the meetings, a high-level discussion at the Pentagon on March 6 between Hegseth and U.K. Secretary of Defense John Healey, took place at a sensitive moment for the trans-Atlantic alliance, one day after the U.S. said it had cut off military intelligence sharing with Ukraine. The group that met at the Pentagon, which included Adm. Tony Radakin, the head of the U.K.’s armed forces, discussed the U.S. rationale behind that decision, as well as future military collaboration between the two allies, according to people familiar with the meeting. 

Jennifer Hegseth also attended a meeting last month at North Atlantic Treaty Organization headquarters in Brussels where allied defense officials discussed their support for Ukraine, according to two people who attended the meeting. Hegseth’s brother Philip Hegseth has also been traveling with him on official visits, the Pentagon said.

Too stupid to learn?
