Fox News: Trump’s plan to house migrants at Guantanamo Bay facing major hurdles
The U.S. military is struggling to implement President Trump's directive to detain 30,000 migrants at Guantánamo Bay due to inadequate facilities that do not meet ICE standards. Currently, only 20 migrants are held there, with most being returned to their home countries.
The operation to establish migrant housing has been stalled, with no clear guidelines provided for the tents. Military aircraft have not been utilized for migrant transport recently, as ICE-chartered flights continue to operate. The cost of military flights may also be a factor in the reduced use of military resources for this mission.
