I was just in Cuba and saw firsthand criminal aliens being unloaded off a flight at GITMO.
My message to criminal alien murderers, rapists, child predators and gangsters: do not come to this country or we will hunt you down, find you, and lock you up. https://t.co/fGqZFlfE3U
Video Transcript AI Summary
Several planes have transported individuals to Guantanamo Bay, where they are housed in facilities previously used for terrorists. These are the "worst of the worst," including murderers, rapists, and child traffickers. They will be held until arrangements are made to return them to their home countries. Due process is being followed, and legal counsel is being provided. While tents with a capacity for 30,000 are being erected, the facilities meet the same safety and detention standards as others in the U.S. The message to those in the country illegally is clear: go home. We are working with other countries to facilitate their return.
Speaker 0: Here with me now, just back from Guantanamo Bay, is Homeland Security Secretary, Christy Noem. Thank you for being here. It's nice
Speaker 1: to
Speaker 0: to see you in person. So you and the president have said repeatedly that the
Speaker 1: worst of the worst will
Speaker 0: be held at Guantanamo. There are a few dozen people there already. I I believe they're right now being held in cells formerly used to house terror suspects. So can you give more specifics about who's there right now, what crimes have they committed, and how long you're going to detain them?
Speaker 1: So there are several planes, that have transported individuals to the base, and they are in the system and the facilities that, you know, a lot of our worst terrorist criminals have been incarcerated for many years. These individuals are the worst of the worst that we pulled off of our streets.
Speaker 0: So Were they?
Speaker 1: Murderers, rapists. So when I was there, I was able to watch one of the flights landing and then unload about 15 different of these criminals. Those were mainly child pedophiles, those that were out there trafficking children, trafficking drugs, and were pulled off of our streets and put at this facility. So I'm very thankful that they are off the streets of The United States and that we have safer communities.
Speaker 0: And how long will they be there? Are they gonna be
Speaker 1: They'll be there until we work with arrangements to take them back to their countries where they belong and have consequences out with them there. So, they will be treated much like, many other individuals in this country that are those dangerous criminals that don't belong here.
Speaker 0: Do they have legal
Speaker 1: they have due process. Everybody has due process, and every individual has the right for that. And my job is to make sure we're following the law in every single individual that we're bringing into custody and transporting back to their home country.
Speaker 0: Since they're there now, they already gotten access to legal counsel?
Speaker 1: Yeah. They followed all the same process they would with anybody else that has come in through these systems that any administration has done it. Every step is being followed and due diligence being done even with these individuals that are so dangerous.
Speaker 0: You're building tents for a lot more than how many are there now?
Speaker 1: Well, they're putting up tents that will have the capacity to go up to 30,000 people. That's not stood up yet because a lot of our soldiers, that's got there received orders just days ago. I think they've been putting up facilities for the last five days. So they've got a lot to do yet, but they have the capacity to start taking individuals.
Speaker 0: So when I saw those tents, first thing and I saw the pictures of you in the tent, the cots. Right. First thing I thought is, how are the worst of the worst as you and the president describe it gonna be in those tents? How was that even safe?
Speaker 1: Well, we're following all the same standards and procedures that we've always had with our detention centers, whether they're in The United States and now to be utilized here at Guantanamo Bay. So, those facilities, I think we need to be really transparent about and make sure that people know what they're like, and we're going to be encouraging people to continuously. If you're in this country illegally, you should go home. You should go back to your home country. Don't wait until we have the opportunity to sweep you up because you have overstayed your orders, you have final removal orders, or you've been committing crimes in our communities.
We do do not want you here, and you should leave. And many of the countries we've been negotiating with, they've
Speaker 0: been
Speaker 1: willing to come to the
