Couldn't happen. Anyone arrested for a crime committed
inside the United States is protected by the Constitution - Miranda rights, Habeus Corpus, Trial by Jury, etc. etc.
What allowed Guantanamo to exist - in the legal sense - was that the people sent there were all taken into custody outside the United States for 'crimes' (in quotes as few, if any, of the people detained there have ever been charged or tried for anything) which were also committed outside the United States.
Sending anyone
from the US
to Guantanamo would be such a violation of the Constitution I don't think anyone would even try it. Every Judge in America would order that reversed.
