First military flight lands in Guantanamo Bay with migrants deported from the US
Deccan ChronicleThe first U.S. military flight deporting migrants from the United States to Guantanamo Bay landed in Cuba on Tuesday evening, according to a U.S. official. It was the first step in an expected surge in the number of migrants sent to the U.S. naval base, which for decades was primarily used to detain foreigners associated with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.President Donald Trump has eyed the facility as a holding center and said it has the capacity to hold as many as 30,000.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was assigned to Guantanamo Bay when he was on active duty, has called it a “perfect place” to house migrants. In addition, Colombian officials flew to the U.S. and took two flights of migrants back to their country.There are approximately 300 service members supporting the holding operations at Guantanamo Bay, and the numbers will fluctuate based on the requirements of the Department of Homeland Security, which is the lead federal agency. At least 230 of those service members are U.S. Marines from the 6th Marine Regiment, who began deploying on Friday.There are more than 725,000 immigrants from India living in the U.S. without authorization, the third most of any country after Mexico and El Salvador, according to the Pew Research Center.Recent years have also seen a jump in the number of Indians attempting to enter the country along the U.S.-Canada border.
