Trump said he wants the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security to
expand a migrant detention facility at the base to hold more than 30,000 migrants.
One flight from Fort Bliss to Guantanamo has roughly a dozen migrants
on board, the Pentagon confirmed to Fox News. An additional flight left
the U.S. on Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The
migrants will be held in the detention facility that was set up for
post-Sept. 11 detainees. They will be separated from the 15 detainees
already there, including the Sept. 11 planners like Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed.
- Around 150 Marines are at the Naval Station and have set up tents for around 1,000 migrants in the other part of the Naval Base.
- But those facilities with latrines and showers are not yet ready for an onslaught of 30,000 migrants as promised by Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
