The Trump administration has officially started the process of transporting migrants to the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday. "Today, the first flights from the United States to Guantánamo Bay with illegal migrants are underway," Leavitt said on Fox Business.

"President Trump, Pete Hegseth and Kristi Noem are already delivering on this promise to utilize that capacity at Guantanamo for illegal criminals who have broken our nation's immigration laws and have further committed heinous crimes against lawful American citizens," she added.
