SUMMARY

The Trump administration has started flying immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally to Guantanamo Bay. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, “President Trump is not messing around... a dumping ground for illegal criminals.”

A memo was signed to prepare a facility for 30,000 migrants at Guantanamo Bay, known for housing military prisoners. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed, “Due process will be followed.”

While the Biden administration aimed to wind down operations, there are still 15 detainees at Guantanamo. The Trump administration is also forming agreements with Colombia, Venezuela, and El Salvador to deport immigrants.
