'No one's gonna wait': Pete Hegseth pushes forward with Gitmo migrant camps amid air crash
Raw StorySecretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said his department was immediately moving forward with President Donald Trump's plan for Guantanamo Bay to hold 30,000 migrants hours after a tragic midair collision that left over 60 dead in Washington, D.C. Hegseth posted an ill-timed update on the Guantanamo camps as recovery efforts were still underway just miles from the Pentagon. "All right, update this morning, I just got off the phone with the South Com Commander and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs talking about our efforts at Guantanamo Bay," the defense secretary explained. "We're leaning forward on supporting the President's directive to make sure that we have a location for violent criminal illegals as they are deported out of the country," he continued. "No one's gonna wait on the Defense Department, and we're working that in real-time."
