[GatewayPundit] Five Senate Democrats Head to Gitmo to Protest Detention of Tren de Aragua Terrorists and Killers – But Don’t Give a D*mn About Americans’ Safety

Five Senate Democrats are heading to Guantanamo Bay—not to demand justice for Americans terrorized by violent foreign gangs, but to protest the detention of members of the notorious Tren de Aragua cartel, a brutal criminal enterprise originating in Venezuela with ties to trafficking, extortion, and murder.

The delegation includes Sens. Jack Reed (D-RI), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Gary Peters (D-MI), Alex Padilla (D-CA), and self-proclaimed Independent Angus King of Maine, who caucuses with Democrats. The trip was led under the guise of “congressional oversight.”

This visit follows months of Democrat outrage over the use of Guantanamo Bay to detain foreign nationals with suspected ties to international terrorist organizations like Tren de Aragua.

Progressive lawmakers have echoed the radical left’s talking points, prioritizing “rights” for foreign terrorists over the safety of American citizens.

The Democrat demands include:

  • An immediate halt to transfers of immigrants to Guantanamo Bay.

  • A detailed report on past or prospective transfers to the facility.

  • Access to counsel for any past present, or prospective detainee.

  • A full accounting of government expenditures related to this detention program.

While Republicans have been pushing for tougher immigration enforcement, border security, and strong action against violent foreign gangs, Senate Democrats appear more committed to virtue-signaling and appeasing the open-borders lobby.
