President Trump's proposal to send up to 30,000 migrants to Guantanamo Bay has faced scrutiny due to high costs and logistical issues. Reports indicate that over $40 million was spent in the initial months, with each migrant costing an average of $100,000 per day. As of March, about 400 migrants were processed, growing to 500 by June, despite Guantanamo's limited capacity of 200. Critics, including Sen. Gary Peters, highlight the inefficiency and impracticality of the operation, questioning how resources are being allocated and managed without actual utilization of the facilities.
The U.S. has spent over $40 million to hold migrants at Guantanamo with a daily cost of about $100,000 per migrant, far exceeding ICE's cost.
Sen. Gary Peters described the situation at Guantanamo as outrageous, questioning the logistics and high costs of transporting migrants there without utilizing accommodations.
