Guant\u00e1namo Bay, Cuba, hit another roadblock this week after all 40 such individuals held there were sent back to the United States, with no future deportation flights scheduled to the island.<\/p>\n<p>A Defense official confirmed to The Hill Thursday there are \u201czero\u201d migrants being held at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, including a group of 23 \u201chigh threat\u201d individuals held at the detention facility on base and 17 others who were detained at the migrant operations center there.<\/p>\n<p>The official did not say where the men had been moved to, but multiple outlets reported they were transported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) aircraft Tuesday and relocated to one or more of the agency\u2019s facilities in Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p>Further questions were referred to ICE, which did not respond to requests for comment from The Hill.

A D.C. federal court on Friday is scheduled to hear arguments in that case, as well as a separate suit requesting to block the transfer of 10 migrants detained in the U.S. to Guant\u00e1namo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration\u2019s plans to detain migrants in Guant\u00e1namo Bay, Cuba, hit another roadblock this week after all 40 such individuals held there were sent back to the United States, with no future deportation flights scheduled to the island.
