Abstract

The Trump administration has initiated the first flights carrying detained migrants to Guantanamo Bay, following an executive order signed by President Donald Trump to expand the migrant detention center at the military installation. While the exact number of migrants in the initial group and their backgrounds remain undisclosed, the administration aims to detain up to 30,000 people at the naval base in Cuba. This move has sparked criticism from immigrant rights groups, who argue that using Guantanamo for migrants could circumvent legal protections in place for many individuals. President Trump's efforts to crack down on illegal immigration have included executive orders and raids resulting in numerous arrests by federal agents. [Extracted from the article]
