The attorneys representing detainees at the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, blasted President Trump Donald John TrumpObama calls on Senate not to fill Ginsburg's vacancy until after election Planned Parenthood: 'The fate of our rights' depends on Ginsburg replacement Progressive group to spend M in ad campaign on Supreme Court vacancy MORE’s suggestion to send the suspect in the New York City terror attack there as “deluded” and “idiotic.”

Representatives from the Center for Constitutional Rights, which has defended detainees in the prison, said Trump only wanted to send Sayfullo Saipov, the suspect in the Tuesday attack that left eight dead, to the facility because he’s Muslim.

“Guantánamo Bay is and always has been a prison exclusively for Muslims, which is undoubtedly the only reason Donald Trump made the idiotic suggestion to send Sayfullo Saipov there,” the attorneys said in a statement.

“Fifteen years has proven no one will ever be successfully tried or 'brought to justice' at Guantánamo, and the president and his supporters within his own party are deluded if they believe otherwise.”

The attorneys also claimed that Trump’s “hatred of immigrants and Muslims” is strengthening white supremacists and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

“He cares little for the escalating violence inspired by his statements or the damage to institutions of democratic government he is intent on undermining,” the attorneys said.

“If Mr. Trump sends additional detainees there, we will represent them and fight for them as we continue to fight for the men held there today.”

Trump said earlier Wednesday that he “would certainly consider” sending Saipov to the controversial prison.

"Send him to Gitmo,” Trump told reporters.

Trump said during his presidential campaign that he would send more “bad dudes” to the prison.
