Officials at the Department of Homeland Security and the Defense Department are working to establish tent facilities in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to accommodate thousands of migrants. However, the coordination between various federal agencies involved in the process has raised questions about leadership and operational procedures.
The transfer of migrants to Guantanamo Bay marks an unprecedented move, with agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection each contributing their expertise and responsibilities to the effort. Despite previous collaborations between DHS and DOD on border security missions, the current operation at Guantanamo has faced challenges due to internal confusion and lack of clarity on roles.
