The Trump administration moved over 150 Venezuelans with final deportation orders from a Texas immigration holding site to Guantanamo Bay. The reasons for selecting these particular individuals remain unclear. Guantanamo, often associated with indefinite detention without charge, is now also designated to potentially house up to 30,000 migrants as part of a recent policy shift. President Trump's directive on January 29 led to operations being prepared at the base, with military personnel assigned to manage the situation and new facilities being constructed for migrant housing.
Waves of migrants, including thousands of Haitians and Cubans, have been housed at the base over the years. But it is better known as a prison for wartime detainees.
On Jan. 29, President Trump ordered the Defense and Homeland Security Departments to prepare the base to receive up to 30,000 migrants, a significant policy shift.
