Guantanamo Bay as a Detention Facility

The decision to send migrants to Guantanamo Bay reflects a shift in immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, aimed at expanding detention capacity for what are termed ‘dangerous criminals.’ This includes individuals accused of serious crimes like murder, human trafficking, and drug offenses, predominantly targeting Venezuelan gang members. The administration's strategy involves utilizing the military facility to cope with a significant influx of migrants while addressing concerns about not having sufficient space in existing detention facilities within the United States. This step raises questions about the legality of detaining these migrants indefinitely and the lack of transparency regarding their identities and charges.
