President Donald Trump's plan to use the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to detain 30,000 immigrants is facing major legal, logistical, and financial hurdles. The cost of flying immigrants to Guantánamo using military planes is high, and the space planned to hold the immigrants is not ready. The administration is recognizing that other options like military bases in the U.S. would be cheaper and more efficient.

Key Points

  • Military flights are expensive, and space at Guantánamo not meeting detention standards
  • Other options like military bases in the U.S. seen as cheaper and more efficient
  • Concerns about the legality and cost of military flights

Cons

  • High cost of using military planes to transport immigrants to Guantánamo
  • Space at Guantánamo not ready to hold 30,000 immigrants
  • Optics of using military planes rather than charter planes
  • Lack of resources and clear guidance affecting operations
