In his first interview since being sworn in as defense secretary, Pete Hegseth sought to clarify how the federal government plans to use Guantánamo Bay to detain migrants being deported from the United States.

President Donald Trump, who made the deportation of migrants a central part of his campaign and presidency, said Wednesday that the U.S. will use a detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to hold tens of thousands of people who can't be sent back to their home countries.
