First 10 “highly dangerous” migrants in Guantanamo
According to the Pentagon, ten migrants classified as "highly dangerous" have arrived at the controversial US detention center in Guantanamo, Cuba. They are to remain there until repatriation to their countries of origin or transfer to another suitable location is possible.
According to White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, the people who arrived on Tuesday are members of the transnational gang Tren de Aragua.
US President Donald Trump had instructed the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to "begin preparations for the camp for 30,000 migrants in Guantanamo Bay". According to him, the plans concern "criminal illegal immigrants".
The Guantanamo detention camp in the bay of the same name in Cuba was set up as part of the "war on terror" following the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Many inmates detained without charge
At peak times, almost 800 inmates were detained there. The US authorities were repeatedly accused of mistreating the detainees. Many inmates were detained there without charge and were unable to take legal action against this.
Currently, 15 people are still being held in Guantanamo for militant activities or terrorism-related offenses. However, the migrants are to be housed in another area of the camp.
