Here's something that came across the transom Wednesday night that's worth a look. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says Guantanamo Bay may be getting some more occupants soon, and the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security are working together to expand the Migrant Operations Center there.
The @DeptofDefense — in conjunction with @DHSgov — will immediately expand the Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay (“Gitmo”) to Full Capacity to provide additional detention space for high-priority criminal aliens we have deported.

"High-priority criminal aliens" — the ones actress Selena Gomez called "her people" in a tear-filled video.
Gitmo has been used for DECADES, including under Democrat presidents like Bill Clinton, to temporarily house migrants. This is not the detention facilities (where I served) for Al Qaeda; this is using specific facilities for migrants/illegals on other parts of the naval station.

Club Gitmo for the win...

These migrants will feel right at home in Gitmo before they get deported back to whereever they came from.

Honestly, If we have the space we need to use it.

There's no reason to keep them in the States.
This is an effective solution. Thank you.

This is a great way to use our resources that are already in place.

Hegseth gave a brief video update on the plan Thursday, as well as an update on Wednesday night's airline crash.

Regular updates from the Secretary of Defense?
Talk about transparency!
I love this!
He hasn't disappeared without a trace yet like the last Secretary of Defense.
