Trump to Ramp up Transfers to Guantánamo, Including Citizens of Allies
- As of June 2025, the Trump administration plans to relocate up to 9,000 migrants, including nationals from allied countries, to the Guantanamo Bay naval base.
- This plan responds to severe overcrowding in domestic detention centers amid President Trump's pledge for the largest deportation of undocumented migrants in US history.
- Preparations include medical screening of all individuals for fitness, while officials do not plan to notify the migrants' home governments, including those of close allies such as Britain, Germany, and France.
- Earlier this year, a tent city with 195 structures housing over 3,000 people was built but never used, and the current Guantanamo population remains around 70 detainees, indicating uncertainty about accommodating the large influx.
- The expansion could free capacity in US facilities but faces criticism over conditions at Guantanamo, ongoing legal challenges, and concerns from international human rights groups and allied countries.
