U.S. Administration Moves Forward with Migrant Flights to Guantanamo Bay

The U.S. government is currently initiating flights to Guantanamo Bay as part of an evolving plan under the Trump administration to detain a significant number of migrants, including undocumented immigrants deemed as ‘criminal aliens.’ The White House has confirmed that the first flights are underway, with facilities being prepared to accommodate up to 30,000 migrants. The operation involves U.S. military troops and logistics aimed at setting up a detention center at the Naval Station Guantanamo Bay. However, this controversial decision has sparked debate regarding legal questions and national security concerns, with officials like Defense Secretary Kristi Noem emphasizing the temporary nature of the detentions and adherence to due process. Rights groups have raised alarms about the implications of such a facility, comparing it to historical instances of mass detentions worldwide.
