Challenges with Holding Migrants in Guantánamo Bay
President Trump's order to hold 30,000 migrants in Guantánamo Bay has faced challenges as the tents set up do not meet ICE standards, leading to minimal migrants being held at the base. The U.S. military has not received clear guidelines on holding migrants, impacting the operation to build more tents. Military aircraft have not been used to transport migrants since March 1, and there are currently no flights on U.S. military aircraft scheduled to Guantánamo.
