Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth came on Fox News today to explain President Trump’s directive to use Guantanamo Bay to hold illegals that are being deported.
In a nutshell, Hegseth explained that it is taking time to deport some criminal illegals because certain countries don’t want them back and they need at bit more convincing. In the interim, they need a place to hold these criminal illegals because they don’t want to keep them in America, and Guantanamo is the perfect place.
Hegseth said that Americans think of GITMO as just detention centers, but in reality it is a full naval station whose mission has been to provide for migrants and refugees in resettlement.
“This is not the camps. We’re not putting criminals in camps with ISIS and other criminals. This is a temporary transit, which is already the mission of Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, where we can plus up thousands and tens of thousands if necessary to humanely move illegals out of our country where they do not belong back to the countries where they came from in proper process.”
He adds “Better they be held at a safe location like Guantanamo Bay, which is meant and built for migrants, meant and built to stay that away from the American people as they are processed properly to where they came from.”
