Trump Administration Sends 53 Venezuelans to Guantánamo Bay

Breitbart: The Trump administration has sent 53 Venezuelan nationals to the Guantánamo Bay detention facility in Cuba as the effort to deport criminal illegals gains steam.

The 53 criminal illegals were not identified by name but are now being housed in the military-operated detention center where some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists have been kept since the attacks on our homeland in 2001, the New York Times reported.

Officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Defense Department have not made any statements on the more than four dozen detainees, but did confirm they had entered the U.S. illegally and are “violent gang members and other high-threat illegal aliens.”

This is the first time the facility in Cuba has been used to house criminal illegals deported from the U.S. mainland, though some illegal aliens picked up at sea had been processed at Guantánamo in the past.

The number of Islamist terrorists now being held in the facility have dwindled to 15, the paper added. more
