Trump’s rash move with GITMO deportation proves costly to taxpayers

In early February of this year, Trump sent  300 of what he called illegal immigrants to the US base at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba (GITMO).  As of March 15, he quietly returned all of them to the US at a cost of 16 million dollars.

He returned them because he feared pending court cases against the GITMO deportation would go against him.

Another example of Trump acting on impulse,  rather  than intelligent consideration.
