Overview

• There are 72 immigration detainees at Guantanamo Bay as of July 8, with 58 deemed high-risk and detained in Camp IV and 14 classified low-risk and held at the Migrant Operations Center.
• Detainees originate from 26 countries across six continents and all have final deportation orders.
• Criminal histories among high-risk detainees include convictions for homicide, sexual offenses against children, child pornography, assault with a weapon, kidnapping, drug smuggling and robbery.
• The base has processed 663 migrants since February, falling well short of the 30,000 capacity President Trump authorized in January.
• Civil rights groups led by the ACLU have sued to block the detentions, arguing that U.S. law does not permit holding immigration detainees outside national territory.
