President Donald Trump vowed to ship “the worst criminal aliens threatening America” to Guantanamo Bay. But even nonviolent, low-risk migrants have been detained on the remote island, according to CBS News.
Two U.S. officials who spoke anonymously to CBS News, along with internal government documents, indicated that migrants deemed “low-risk” were being sent to Guantanamo Bay along with “high-risk” individuals such as those with criminal records or ties to gangs.
Government guidelines define “low-risk” migrants as those who face deportation because they are in the U.S. illegally but otherwise have not been accused or convicted of violent or serious crimes.
