The first flight of high-threat illegal aliens out of the United States arrived at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, today.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, all 10 of those illegal aliens are part of the transnational criminal organization “Tren de Aragua.” Last month, the White House designated that group as a foreign terrorist organization.
Ten “high-threat” migrants have arrived at Guantanamo and are being held at the notorious American base in Cuba, the Pentagon said Wednesday, with the White House later identifying them as members of a powerful gang.
“These 10 high-threat individuals are currently being housed in vacant detention facilities,” the Pentagon said in a statement, referring to them as “illegal aliens.”
“US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is taking this measure to ensure the safe and secure detention of these individuals until they can be transported to their country of origin or other appropriate destination,” it said.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later said the flight carrying the migrants had arrived the previous day and that they were “10 members of the transnational gang Tren de Aragua.”
The Trump administration has launched what it has cast as a major effort to combat illegal migration that has also included immigration raids, arrests, and deportations on military aircraft.
