The US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is scheduled to travel to Guantanamo Bay on Tuesday to receive briefings on all mission operations, as announced by the Pentagon today. This visit marks Hegseth's first trip to Guantanamo Bay since assuming the role of secretary.
During his visit, Secretary Hegseth will be briefed on various operations at the base, including the ongoing operation to transfer migrants to the facility. Last week, over 170 migrants were flown to Venezuela, resulting in a significant reduction in the population at Guantanamo Bay. Currently, only 17 migrants have been brought to the detention facility portion of the base, with none housed in the Migrant Operation Center (MOC).
