Deportation Flights to Guantanamo Bay Begin Under Trump's Directive

The U.S. has launched deportation flights to Guantanamo Bay as part of an expanded immigration enforcement policy under President Trump.

Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The Trump administration has initiated military flights to deport migrants to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with the first flight set for February 4, 2025. This marks a significant shift in the use of the facility, previously reserved for terrorism suspects, to accommodate undocumented migrants. The expansion aligns with President Trump's plan to increase capacity to 30,000, which has raised legal questions. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth supports the move, calling Guantanamo a 'perfect place' for housing migrants, while the Department of Homeland Security manages the operations and oversees fluctuating troop deployments.
