Guantanamo Bay receives high-threat illegal aliens under new directives

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

The Department of Defense has announced the arrival of 10 high-threat illegal aliens at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba. This move aligns with President Trump's directive to expand the Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, creating additional space for detaining high-priority criminal aliens unlawfully present in the United States.

Currently, these individuals are housed in vacant detention facilities. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is responsible for ensuring their safe and secure detention until they can be transported back to their country of origin or another suitable destination.

The Department of Defense is collaborating closely with the Department of Homeland Security to protect American citizens and uphold national security interests. The temporary detention at Guantanamo Bay aims to support efforts by federal agencies to facilitate the removal of these individuals as quickly as possible.
