The Pentagon spent at least $21 million transporting migrants to Guantanamo Bay on military aircraft between January 20 and April 8, new figures provided to Congress show. The naval base, which has been plagued by a myriad of legal challenges, currently holds 32 migrants.
The new figures were provided by the U.S. military to Congress. The naval base has held under 500 migrants since President Donald Trump took office in January, and it has never held more than 200 at any one time, according to NBC News. That number is way less than the promised 30,000 by the president.
