US EditionFull List of Gitmo Names Released
CUBA, JUL 8 – Guantanamo Bay holds 72 immigration detainees from 26 countries, with 58 classified as high-risk due to serious criminal convictions, according to U.S. officials.
- The Trump administration has begun housing 72 immigrants from 26 different countries at the Guantanamo Bay facility in Cuba, many of whom have significant criminal backgrounds.
- This practice began in early February 2025 as part of a broader plan to convert Guantanamo Bay into a migrant detention center housing high-risk criminals.
- Detainees include individuals convicted of homicide, sexual offenses against children, kidnapping, robbery, and drug smuggling, with 58 classified as high-risk and held in Camp IV.
- DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, "Criminals are not welcome in the United States," referencing Guantanamo, Alligator Alcatraz in Florida, and Salvadoran prison CECOT as facilities used to detain dangerous criminals.
- This expansion has raised legal challenges and criticism, with advocates arguing it breaches immigration law by detaining immigrants outside U.S. territory and treating civil detention punitively.
