Pentagon chief tours Guantanamo Bay as more detainees arrive

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited Guantanamo Bay as more migrants arrived under U.S. Deportation efforts, including nine labeled as 'high threat illegal aliens' from Texas.
The Pentagon plans to increase the capacity at Guantanamo Bay for nonviolent detainees from 2,500 to potentially 30,000, amidst ongoing criticism from immigration rights groups.
