The US army is having problems carrying out president Donald Trump’s The order to have 30,000 migrants in the Bay of Guantanamo, Cuba, US defense officials tell Fox News.
None of the stores established in the United States Naval Station in Guantanamo Bay has been used to house migrants, because they do not meet ice standards, two US defense officials said.
During his second week in office, Trump ordered the pentagon and the National Security Department to prepare a migrant detention center to house 30,000 migrants in Guantanamo Bay. “We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to stop the worst criminal foreigners who threaten the American people,” Trump said.
Since that announcement, 256 total illegal migrants have gone through the base, according to the US command. Uu. Many of these migrants were labeled as the “worst of the worst” and a threat to the American population, according to the Trump administration. Most of these migrants have been sent back to their countries of origin.

Until Wednesday, only 20 migrants were arrested at the base. Sixteen “illegal foreigners of high threat” are being carried out in the detention center part of the base, also known as camp 6, and four migrants are arrested in a backup center due to the insufficiency of the stores. The DHS and ICE have not responded to what criteria are used to assess whether a migrant is a high threat.
The American army was told to establish stores without a clear guide on what are the standards to keep migrants, two US officials said. The US army has not received specific guidelines on what tents must be certified to keep migrants. The operation to build more tents stopped in February, only several weeks after it started.
“He Ministry of DefenseIn close coordination with our National Security Partners Department, it continues to prepare the facilities for its use. The Department of Defense undertakes to ensure that all people housed in these temporary facilities are treated in accordance with the DHS/ICE standards, “said an American defense official in a statement to Fox News.
American military planes have not been used to transport migrants since March 1, and there are currently no flights in American military planes scheduled for Guantanamo. However, it was scheduled that several migrants arrived at an ice cream plane on Wednesday night, two US defense officials said. The United States transport command has C-17 and C-130 ready to support the migrant mission, but it has not been asked to make any flight in recent days, said a United States defense official to Fox News.
“The military air bridge is only an option available for DHS to relocate illegal foreigners and the Department of Defense is ready to continue support with additional fights if asked,” said an American defense official in a statement to Fox News.
Laura Ingraham de Fox had an exclusive interview with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Major General Phil Ryan, the general commander of the operation in Guantanamo Bay on February 25. While Ingraham reported, a C-1330 flight arrived from Fort Bliss, Texascarrying nine “high value” detainees from Guatemala, Honduras, Guinea, Venezuela and Vietnam.

When Ingraham asked why the US army was using such a large plane for nine migrants, Ryan explained that there is at least one ice officer for each migrant, as well as a medical team on board. Hegseth said: “We have had groups with more than that.”
A reason why the use of military aircraft has slowed could be due to the high cost. A C-17 costs around $ 28,500 to fly per hour, according to the United States transport command. An ICE plane costs around $ 8,500 per flight, per hour, according to a government website.
