The Trump administration has recently made headlines for transferring more than 140 individuals to Guantanamo Bay, as reported by federal data. This move comes as officials work swiftly to establish a camp to accommodate tens of thousands of migrants.
According to the data, there have been a total of 13 flights that have transported 142 individuals to the military base located in Cuba. The individuals transferred have been predominantly men, with all of them being deemed to possess some form of 'criminality.'
Among those transferred, some are considered high-risk detainees and are being housed in the base's maximum-security prison. On the other hand, individuals with final removal orders are being held at the migrant operations center within the facility.
It remains unclear how the administration is selecting individuals for transfer to Guantanamo Bay. The criteria seem to vary, with reasons for transfer ranging from alleged membership in criminal organizations like the Tren de Aragua gang to more straightforward immigration law violations.
The Department of Homeland Security has refrained from disclosing the identities of the individuals who have been sent to the facility, adding an air of mystery to the situation.
As this story continues to develop, the public is left with many questions regarding the motivations behind these transfers and the implications for the individuals involved. Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving situation.
