More than a dozen Venezuelan criminal illegal migrants are on their way to the U.S.' most secure prison — the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp in Cuba — some of whom are members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua , according to Department of Homeland Security sources. TdA is an international criminal group that has been terrorizing U.S. communities from New York to Colorado. As one of his first actions, President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Jan.
The DHS said the immigrants on the plane on Thursday are 'highly dangerous' people who were in the U.S. illegally. Along with a murder suspect and a prison escapee, the others in the group being taken to GITMO include those accused of robbery, intent to commit homicide, weapons trafficking, robbery and assault.
Earlier on Thursday, 10 high-threat migrants arrived at Guantánamo Bay, the Department of Defense confirmed. The DOD said migrant criminals are being housed in vacant detention facilities. The DOD said that is only a temporary arrangement being made to 'ensure the safe and secure detention of these individuals until they can be transported to their country of origin or other appropriate destination.
