The Trump administration has initiated plans to send first migrant detainees to Guantanamo Bay, with a focus on high-threat individuals. As flights began to transport undocumented migrants to the controversial detention facility, experts raised concerns about the implications of housing migrants at a military prison. The Department of Defense confirmed the arrival of detainees, sparking a national debate over the use of military resources and legal complexities surrounding the detentions. Critics, including former detainees, expressed horror at the prospect of using Guantanamo Bay, a site long associated with torture and human rights violations, for mass detention of migrants. Trump has directed preparations for holding up to 30,000 migrants at Guantanamo, raising alarms about the expansion of such facilities and the historical parallels to past detention practices.
