That’s a significant development. The Trump administration’s decision to use Guantánamo Bay for housing deportees—especially those labeled as high-risk—raises a lot of legal, ethical, and logistical questions.
The facility has a long and controversial history, and expanding its role beyond suspected terrorists to include migrant detainees will undoubtedly spark debate.
Noem’s high-profile involvement in immigration enforcement efforts, combined with her strong alignment with Trump’s policies, suggests she’s being positioned as a key figure in the administration.
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, particularly given the legal challenges and international scrutiny that could follow.
