Defense Minister Peta Hegsetth gave Fox News leader Laura Ingraham exclusive view of the Guantánamo Bay, where some illegal migrants are held as part of Illegal Immigration Trump Administration.
Starting from the trip early from the Andrews shared base, Ingraham shared his travels prominently into a military base of 45 square kilometers in the southeast Cuba during “Ingraham corner“Wednesday.
The base is best known for custody of suspects for terrorism, including those behind the attack on September 11, 2001. President Donald Trump approved the custody of certain illegal immigrants in the facility shortly after he took over his position on January 20th.
In January, Trump said he wanted to expand the immigrant detention center in Guantánam to hold as many as 30,000 people.
“We are here on the aircraft of the Ministry of Defense on the way to the Guantánamo Navy Navy Station, where everyone knows that there are flights of illegal immigrants who come regularly. This is the decision of the administration as cells before returning home,” Ingraham said.
Hegsetth arrived At the Guantánamo Bay on Cuba, on Tuesday, the first trip to the Navy installation since it was confirmed in his position in January.
Hegsetth, who served as an American army Lieutenant in Guantánam from 2004 to 2005 with the National Guard in New Jersey, was expected to receive a briefing for all missionary operations in the base, including custody in which the illegal migrants were deported from the United States before flying into their native countries.
Trump’s secretary of defense addressed reports that circulated in the media about alleged harassment and inhumane conditions in Gitm. He said that the claims, such as one article from the Washington Post, “BS” and added: “This idea that people are harassed is absolutely garbage.”
Hegsetth described the living conditions for Migrants holding in Gitm As “strict” and “basic, but it is every basic convenience that you might need.”
He added that detainees receive different types of content and care, including “Medical checks, dental checks, health care checks, well -being checks [and] Recreational options. “
“There is a temporary posture here, individuals with great threats that we then send home.”
Ingraham also pressed Hegsetth to his Message for Cartes, many of which Trump’s administration is marked as foreign terrorist organizations.
“We take nothing off the table. Nothing. We will do everything we need to secure the US homeland, to keep our sovereignty and protect the American people.”
The military veteran also said that he had “excluded anything” when asked about potential strikes in Mexico in fentanil laboratories.
“Everything is on the table. The chief commander, ultimately, with my counseling, with the president and others, will make those decisions, but nothing is out of the table. Our sovereignty will be defended.”
Last week, nearly 200 Venecuelan illegal migrants arrested in the United States flew out of the Guantánamo Bay after Venezuela expressed interest in accepting her citizens, Fox News Digital previously reported.
Earlier this month, two Venecuelan flights performed 190 illegal immigrants from the United States to the South American nation.
The US government claims that Venezuelan illegal immigrants were transferred to the Navy Base members of the abuser Too de Aragua gang. Trump turned the band into the face of the alleged threats illegally represented by immigrants living in the country.

Shortly after Ingraham arrived in Gitmo, she reported that the migrant flight from Fort Bliss landed, transporting nine high-value detainees.
“It’s an incredibly professional surgery,” Hegsetth said, thinking about his time at the Guantánamo Bay during his military service.
“The message is clear: If you break the law, if you are a criminal, you can find your way to the Guantánamo Bay. You do not want to be in the Guantánamo Bay, where we placed al-Qaed after September 11. They are professionals. They do their job. It’s not easy. It’s not easy time.
