Guantanamo Bay Migrant Detention Plan Unravels as All Migrants Are Transferred to Louisiana
In a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy, all illegal migrants previously held at Guantanamo Bay have been transferred to facilities in Louisiana. This move comes amid ongoing legal challenges regarding the detention of migrants at the facility. Originally, the Trump administration had proposed to house up to 30,000 migrants at Guantanamo, but the reality has seen only about 300 detained there at any given time. As the Homeland Security department prepares for court discussions with rights groups over the legality of these detentions, reports confirm that all remaining migrants have been relocated back to the U.S. The Pentagon has officially stated that the Guantanamo immigration detentions have come to an end, marking the collapse of the initial plan to use the notorious facility for mass migrant detainment.
