Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said during an interview over the weekend that the Trump administration is focused on initially sending the most dangerous illegal aliens in the U.S. to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba until they can be deported to their countries of origin.
Noem made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” following a trip she made to Guantanamo Bay.
She said that she saw illegal aliens — being offloaded from planes at the facility — who had been convicted of murder, rape, child sex crimes, and drug trafficking.
“They will be there until we work with arrangements to take them back to their countries, where they belong, and have consequences dealt with them there,” she said. “So they will be treated much like many other individuals in this country that are those dangerous criminals that don’t belong here.”
DHS @Sec_Noem on how…
