Part 8/9:
Legal Implications of Detaining Illegal Immigrants
Alongside the Gaza proposal, discussions surrounding the treatment of illegal immigrants captured headlines. The conversation steered towards the potential relocation of undocumented individuals to Guantanamo Bay, a concept that drew mixed reactions.
Hegseth's experience at Guantanamo gives him insight into the facility's capabilities, asserting that it is appropriately equipped for detaining those deemed threats to national security. He noted that while there will likely be legal challenges, the administration remains committed to enhancing border security and addressing the significant influx of undocumented immigrants attributed to previous policies.
