Guantanamo Bay Sees Complete Transfer of Migrants Back to the U.S.

The U.S. government has completed the transfer of all remaining migrants from Guantanamo Bay back to stateside facilities, as part of a mission initiated under the Trump administration. Immigration officials defend their authority to detain migrants at the Guantanamo facility, despite ongoing criticism regarding the morality and capacity of using this site for housing immigrants. The current conditions at Guantanamo Bay have raised concerns, with advocates labeling the practice as cruel and highlighting that the facility is only equipped to handle a fraction of the migrant population that could potentially be accommodated.
