Pentagon –

The first unfathomable migrants – described by US officials as “worst of the worst” – are held in prison cells in the US custody center in the Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, waiting to be sent home.

Pentagon on Wednesday confirmed that 10 “illegal foreigners of high threats” arrived in custody on Tuesday, where they stick to the guard of officers with American immigration and customs conduct, or ice.

Voa first reported on the transmission of the arrival-migrants, flew from Fort Bliss in Texas, to the Gnantanamo Bay on Tuesday on the US military aircraft C-17.

According to the pentagon, a temporary measure is the detention of high threat migrants in the custody of the Guantanamo Bay.

Ice “takes this measure to ensure safe and safe detention of these individuals until they can translate them to their country of origin or other appropriate destination,” Pentagon said in a statement.

The Secretary of the American Homeland Security Kristi Noem posted photos on the X of some migrants on Tuesday while preparing to board a military cargo plane, calling them “the worst of the worst”, and a warning that the effort to deport them was just beginning.

The Ministry of Homeland Security later said that all migrants on the military flight were members of the duration of de Aragua, a Venecuelan street gang with a transnational reach. Officials did not say when or how they were first taken into custody.

The White House has announced plans to mark a moment de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization.

Noem posted on X on Wednesday, she said that her department was monitored by the arrest of “convicted killers, rapists, abusers of children, drug trader, members of the MS-13 gang, cartel members”, in the last few days.

Since President Donald Trump’s executive command last month, the Pentagon deployed 300 Marines in Guantanamo to expand the facilities to support surgery to hold unfathomrated immigrants. According to media reports, they set tents to accommodate migrants within a fenced area in a separate part of the Navy base. According to Fox News, these objects are not yet ready for migrants.

“The number of service members will continue to fluctuate because the additional forces of the given implementation will be increased and will be increased, based on the request of the Ministry of Internal Security, which is the leading federal agency,” US command Southern, which oversees operations in southern America, Central America and Caribbean announced in a statement on Monday.

The migrants who arrived on Tuesday will be held in US custody, according to an American official who spoke of the background. The facility is known mainly for the accommodation of military prisoners and suspects for terrorism, including those involved in September 11, 2001, attacks and members of Taliban.

“If you are a violent gang and you are taken out of our country, and we are waiting for us to bring you to our country, we will put you in a mobile box built for Al-Qaid,” Defense Minister of Peta Hegsetth told Fox News this week.

In his executive order Trump, Trump ordered Trump’s defense departments and Homeland Security to prepare an American naval base for posture up to 30,000 migrants.

“Some of them are so bad that we do not even believe the countries to hold them because we do not want to return. So, we will send them to Guantanamo,” Trump said.

Closing to Guantanama

Democratic administrations under former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden sought to close the detention camp, built by former President George W. Bush 2002, after the American invasion of Afghanistan, which began shortly after September 11, 2001.

Sue Hendrickson, President and Executive Director of Human Rights, said in a statement that sending migrants in Guantanamo will create a disaster about human rights.

“Trump’s administration can consider the symbolism of sending migrants in Guantanamo darkly attractive; his practical result would be more injustice, waste and self-adopted loss of credibility,” said Hendrickson.

At the peak during the global war against terrorism, custody had about 680 prisoners. From January 6th there were only 15 detainees in the plant, according to Pentagon.

Before used for the detention of suspects for terrorism, an American naval object was also used to accommodate migrants from Cuba and Haiti in the early 1990s.
