The Trump administration took a major step in securing the nation on Monday, officially beginning the process of flying illegal aliens to Guantanamo Bay for detention. The move marks the latest effort to crack down on criminal aliens who threaten American communities.

The first flight, departing from Fort Bliss, Texas, carried roughly a dozen illegal aliens to the naval base in Cuba. While the facility currently holds 120 detainees, the administration has plans to expand capacity to 30,000. The transfer follows President Trump’s recent executive order directing that “high-priority criminal aliens” be sent to the secure facility.

Key developments:

  • Guantanamo Bay is now an official detention center for illegal aliens deemed national security threats.

  • Hundreds of U.S. Marines have been deployed to the base to expand infrastructure, with 500 expected in the coming days.

  • The Biden-era border crisis is finally being addressed after years of reckless policies that allowed criminal aliens to flood the U.S.

“Guantanamo Bay will hold the worst of the worst. That starts today,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote in a post on X, sharing images of the first detainees.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized Trump’s commitment to protecting American citizens. “The first flights from the United States to Guantanamo Bay with illegal migrants are underway,” she confirmed on Fox Business. “He’s not messing around.”

Trump has made it clear that the most dangerous illegal aliens will be permanently removed from U.S. soil. “Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the countries to hold them,” he stated. “We don’t want them coming back, so we’re going to send them out to Guantanamo.”

This move is a sharp reversal from the disastrous Biden policies that enabled violent criminals to roam free. With the border wide open under Democrats, countless Americans suffered from increased crime, drugs, and economic strain. Now, under strong leadership, law and order are being restored.

Americans demanded action, and President Trump is delivering.
