The Trump administration’s decision to detain migrants at Guantánamo Bay is poised to spark a new chapter of legal challenges about the rights of those kept on the military base in Cuba, which has been a source of controversy for decades.
The process for housing immigrants at Guantánamo Bay appears to have already begun, with the Trump administration sending migrants with violent criminal records to the facility, including members of the Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua. President Donald Trump has signaled plans to expand the site to house 30,000 beds for immigration detention, part of a border effort to give greater visibility to deportation with a military flourish.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted on social media Monday about a visit she paid to the facility over the weekend.
