USA / CUBA – At the direction of the president of the United States to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Defense, US military service members arrived at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay this weekend where they joined service members already at the base supporting illegal alien holding operations led by DHS.
More than 150 service members are at the installation supporting the operation.
The deployed service members include US Marines with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2d Marine Division and elements from US Southern Command, and US Army South.
ICE officers and agents in Miami, in coordination with the US Border Patrol, conducted targeted immigration enforcement operations in Palm Beach County from January 27 to 28. The operation netted 32 illegal aliens from Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Cuba, and Nicaragua.
All illegal aliens arrested during this operation will be detained pending their removal from the United States or a hearing before an immigration judge.
Some highlights from the arrests include:
- A 30-year-old Venezuelan male with criminal convictions for resisting officer, drug possession, and robbery who is being detained pending his removal from the United States.
- A 44-year-old Haitian female with criminal convictions for battery, drug possession, prostitution, and narcotic equipment possession who is awaiting a removal hearing by an immigration judge.
- A 24-year-old Cuban male with criminal convictions for fraud, failure to appear, larceny, and probation violation who is in custody pending removal from the US.
- A 25-year-old Guatemalan male with criminal convictions for illegal re-entry, cocaine possession, and driving under the influence who is being detained pending removal from the US.
