The U.S. military faces difficulties in presidential Donald Trump’s U.S. defense officials told Fox News to hold 30,000 immigrants in Guam Bay, Cuba.
Neither tents set up at the U.S. Navy station in Guantanamo Bay were used to accommodate immigrants because they did not meet the ice mark, two U.S. defense officials said.
In his second week of office, Trump Order the Pentagon The Department of Homeland Security prepares for immigration detention centers to hold 30,000 immigrants in Guantanamo Bay. “We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminals who threaten the American people,” Trump said.
According to the US Southern Command, 256 illegal immigrants have passed the base since the announcement. Many of these immigrants are labeled as “worst” and threats to the U.S. population, according to the Trump administration. Most immigrants have been sent back to their homeland.

As of Wednesday, there were only 20 immigrants at the base. Sixteen “high threat illegal foreigners” were held in the detention section of the base, also known as the 6th battalion, where four immigrants were held in standby facilities due to insufficient tents. DHS and ICE have not answered questions about which criteria to use to assess whether immigration is at high threat.
The U.S. military was told to build tents without clear guidance on standards that guide holding immigration, two U.S. officials said. The U.S. military has not received specific guidelines on the need for certification to hold immigration. The action to build more tents began in February, just a few weeks before February.
“this Ministry of National Defensein close coordination with our Department of Homeland Security, is continuing to prepare for the facilities used. The Department of Defense is committed to ensuring that all individuals in these temporary facilities are handled in accordance with DHS/ICE standards. ”
Since March 1, U.S. military aircraft have not been used to transport immigrants, and currently there are no U.S. military aircraft planned to fly to Guantanamo. However, two U.S. defense officials said several immigrants planned to arrive at the Icecore plane on Wednesday night. U.S. Transportation Command has prepared support for C-17 and C-130 to support immigration missions, but has not been asked to do any flights in recent days.
“Military air transport is just an option for the Department of Homeland Security to relocate illegal foreigners, and if requested, the Department is ready to continue supporting other combat.”

When Ingraham asked why the U.S. military used such a large plane for nine immigrants, Ryan explained that each immigrant had at least one ice officer and a medical team on board. “Our group is more than that,” Heggs assured.
One of the reasons for the slowdown in the use of military aircraft may be due to the higher costs. According to U.S. Transportation Command, the price of the C-17 is about $28,500 per hour. The government website says the cost of ice planes is about $8,500 per flight.
