Controversial Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr., who is reportedly being considered to head Homeland Security, supports suspending the constitutional rights of up to 1 million people and sending them to the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay.
Clarke, an outspoken conservative who has downplayed police brutality, advocates treating terrorism suspects from the U.S. as “enemy combatants,” Mother Jones reports, citing his upcoming memoir.
Clarke also supports questioning Americans suspected of terrorism without an attorney and holding them indefinitely.
Last year, his position was even more extreme after calling for the roundup of Americans who sympathize with terrorists and sending them to an offshore prison.
