U.S. Marines have been deployed to Guantanamo Bay to assist with the detention of criminal illegal aliens at the military detention camp reserved for enemy combatants.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem detailed the Trump Administration’s plans on Sunday to detain violent criminal illegal aliens at Guantanamo Bay “before they are returned home to their countries to deal with.”
The facility will “hold the worst of the worst,” including aliens wanted for “murders, rapes, assaults, gun purchases, drug trafficking,” and even one gang member who was “trying to buy grenades,” Noem said. “We’ve always had a presence of illegal immigrants there that have been detained. We’re just building out some capacity.”

The deployment of additional troops at Guantanamo also comes as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently said, “All options are on the table,” when he was asked if the U.S. will use military force against the cartels in Mexico.
Trump Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller recently indicated that President Trump may invoke the Insurrection Act to combat the cartels in line with the “national objective of eradicating their physical presence on US soil.” The Insurrection Act “is still being considered based on operational needs on the southern border,” said Miller.
It is currently unclear if the Trump Administration has plans to deploy military troops to fight the cartels on the border, where border patrol agents face increasing threats, including gunfire and potential use of weaponized cartel drones.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump on Saturday sent a message to “all who would attack Americans” on Saturday, stating, “WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!” after announcing precision air strikes against ISIS in Somalia. The President later shared footage of the drone strikes Saturday night.
Defense Secretary Hegseth announced the airstrikes, saying, “This action further degrades ISIS’s ability to plot and conduct terrorist attacks threatening U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians and sends a clear signal that the United States always stands ready to find and eliminate terrorists who threaten the United States and our allies, even as we conduct robust border-protection and many other operations under President Trump’s leadership.”
The White House announced on X,

According to U.S. Southern Command, the DoD combatant command responsible for military operations in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, “The Marines are deployed in support of the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security mission to expand the Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay.”
The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates on the situation at the southern border and potential military attacks on the newly designated foreign terrorist cartel groups.
