Guantanamo Migrant Flights Cost Taxpayers $21 Million
Tap title to read story
The Trump administration spent at least $21 million on military flights transporting migrants to Guantanamo Bay between January 20 and April 8. This involved 46 flights totaling 802.5 hours, with an average cost of $26,277 per flight hour. Only 32 migrants are currently at Guantanamo, a tiny fraction of the 30,000 promised. Democrats criticized the operation as a costly political stunt, and Senator Warren denounced the misuse of military resources. Despite logistical and legal flaws, the Pentagon plans to increase capacity with an additional weekly flight.
