Migrant flight lands in Guantanamo Bay as legal questions swirl around Trump plans

CNN  

Washington CNN — As tents went up in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to hold migrants, attorneys at the Department of Homeland Security and Pentagon were still trying to determine whether it was legal to take the unprecedented step of flying migrants from the US southern border to the facility, according to two US officials and a person familiar with the planning. “It’s the perfect place to provide for migrants who are traveling out of our country … but also hardened criminals,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at the US southern border Monday. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told NBC’s “Meet the Press” over the weekend that it’s “not the plan” to hold migrants there indefinitely. Trump’s top immigration advisers previously told CNN that management of a Guantanamo Bay detention facility for migrants would be overseen by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
