The Trump administration has ordered the first U.S. military aircraft carrying detained migrants to Guantanamo Bay, with plans to potentially house over 30,000 migrants at the naval base in Cuba. Military flights have already deported migrants to various countries, costing at least $4,675 per migrant. The administration has turned to the military to aid in immigration efforts, including sending troops to the border and using military aircraft to transport migrants. The Department of Homeland Security has not confirmed whether women, children, or families will be held at Guantanamo, stating that they will follow U.S. law. The base already houses a migrant facility separate from the U.S. prison for terrorism suspects. The plan to expand Guantanamo has faced criticism for its high costs and treatment of inmates, with a United Nations expert calling the treatment of detainees cruel, inhuman, and degrading under international law. There is no information on the cost of expanding the base to accommodate the influx of migrants.
