Marines and soldiers have deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as part of President Donald Trump’s administration’s immigration crackdown involving the U.S. military.
Several hundred troops will provide security for a 30,000-person migrant facility at the U.S. military base in Cuba, according to plans announced last week by the White House.
There are currently 310 service members supporting the migrant “holding operations” with elements from U.S. Southern Command, U.S. Army South, and U.S. Marines with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division.
