WASHINGTON: US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday visited Guantanamo Bay, the US military base in Cuba known for holding suspected militants that President Donald Trump´s administration is now using to detain undocumented migrants.
Trump unveiled a surprise plan last month to hold up to 30,000 migrants at the base -- a facility synonymous with abuses against terror suspects detained there after the September 11, 2001 attacks -- as part of his sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration.
