The Trump administration's plan to use the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to detain up to 30,000 undocumented immigrants has faced significant legal, logistical, and financial obstacles, and is now raising serious doubts inside Government about its viability.
According to a special report by NBC News, officials within the administration increasingly recognize that the proposal is proving impractical with costs being the primary reason cited. Transporting detainees to Guantanamo requires expensive flights, with the administration often opting for military aircraft over the charter planes typically used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
