Marines Arrive at Guantanamo Bay for Migrant Detention Expansion

U.S. Marines have arrived at Guantanamo Bay to assist in expanding the facility as a detention center for migrants, part of President Trump's broader immigration strategy. The White House stated that the Marines will support the Department of Defense and Homeland Security in establishing a Migrant Operations Center at the naval base, historically known for housing terrorists. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized the adherence to legal processes while highlighting that the facility will primarily hold individuals considered dangerous, including those with serious criminal records. The administration aims to prepare up to 30,000 beds at Guantanamo, though logistical challenges may limit this goal. The plan has faced scrutiny, particularly regarding the potential inclusion of women and children in the detention process. The White House has also encountered difficulties with certain countries refusing to accept their citizens being deported from the U.S.
