Guantanamo Bay

In 2004, during his second year at Harvard Law, DeSantis was commissioned an officer in the U.S. Navy and assigned to the Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG). He completed Naval Justice School in 2005. Later that year, he received orders to the JAG Trial Service Office Command South East at Naval Station Mayport, Florida, as a prosecutor. He was promoted from lieutenant, junior grade to lieutenant in 2006. He worked for the commander of Joint Task Force-Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO), working directly with detainees at the Guantanamo Bay Joint Detention Facility. In 2007, DeSantis reported to the Naval Special Warfare Command Group in Coronado, California, where he was assigned to SEAL Team One and deployed to Iraq.

Michael Prysner interviewed Mansur al-Dayfi (a 16 year inmate of Guantanamo Bay) in November 2022. From the interview it is learned that:

• DeSantis and others were brought in during a hunger strike in 2005 (at a time force feeding was not yet approved), which turned into a political problem for Bush administration (in another interview with Democracy Now al-Dayfi said that he came close to death back then )
• DeSantis introduced himself as a someone who wanted to help the detainees, help the humanitarian situation
• according to al-Dayfi, Ron DeSantis actually helped to make the situation more unbearable and attended force-feeding sessions amused and/or laughing, beating and usage of pepper-spray were common at the time, as was sleep deprivation - it was the worst time during his 16 year incarceration
• three leaders of the hunger strike were murdered during the time DeSantis was there, Prysner wonders how much DeSantis knew about this incident

Opinions

“Politicians want to force you to cover your face as a way for them to cover their own asses that's just the truth they want to be able to say they're taking this on and they're doing this even though it's not proven to be effective they want to continue to do it”
