Noem says migrants won’t be housed at Guantanamo Bay indefinitely

Published



Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said illegal immigrants sent to Guantanamo Bay won’t be housed there indefinitely.

“That is not the plan,” Noem said during an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday when asked. “The plan is to have a process that we follow that’s laid out in law and make sure that we’re dealing with these individuals appropriately according to what the state and what the national lawsuit or law directs, so we will work with Congress to make sure that we’re addressing our legal immigration laws and using Guantanamo Bay appropriately.”
