It Is Happening Every Day, Every Where
The base had been cleared of migrants since Thursday, after the government sent 177 to Venezuela and one back to the United States.
The move would be a drastic escalation by the White House to militarize immigration enforcement.
A transfer operation on Thursday repatriated 177 Venezuelans via a handoff in Honduras, while one migrant was brought back to U.S. soil.
The Trump administration has said little about the Venezuelan men who were transferred from Texas to the U.S. military base in Cuba.
Lawyers for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed have said for years that the confession was tainted by torture. Mr. Mohammed has now agreed that portions can be used at his sentencing trial if prosecutors agree to settle his case.
In pushing back against President-elect Donald J. Trump’s plan, President Xiomara Castro threatened that bases hosting U.S. troops could “lose all reason to exist in Honduras.”
