Using Guantánamo Bay to detain up to 30,000 is expensive and dangerous.
- **Guantánamo Bay could be used for political and other prisoners** that have nothing to do with migration detention. The US government is not releasing details who they are detaining at Guantánamo Bay. Will anybody be informed when a detainee dies?
- **Detaining a large number people at Guantánamo Bay is going to be very expensive.** All food, medicines, clothing, etc will have to be shipped to Cuba.
- **Guantánamo Bay has very limited resources.** The US Naval facility supplies its own water and electricity. Nothing comes from Cuba.
- **Guantánamo Bay was hit hard by Hurricane OSCAR.** Putting people in tents could require a large sczale evacuation if another hurricane was hit it.

Like to add Cuba *really* doesn't want any of it there anyway.
US pays a whooping $4000 a year for the lease.
No idea how all of that works. BUT what would be hilarious would be if the whole deal were somehow messed up if DOGE gets rid of the federal agency handling leased military land owned by foreign governments.
