就在去年重返白宫仅八天后，特朗普总统就宣布计划将古巴关塔那摩湾的美国军事基地改造为大型拘留中心，用于关押3万名面临驱逐的被拘留者，作为其打击非法移民强硬行动的一部分。
但哥伦比亚广播公司新闻对政府内部文件和提交国会的信息进行的审查显示，一年多后，关塔那摩湾的拘留设施几乎是空的，尽管这项广受关注的行动预计将耗费美军超过7000万美元。
根据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获得的联邦文件，5月11日，美国政府在关塔那摩湾海军基地仅关押了6名移民被拘留者，全部为海地国民。文件显示，在过去一年中，已有832名移民被拘留者通过100多次航班转移至该基地。
事实上，根据文件，分配到关塔那摩移民拘留行动的政府雇员人数远多于被拘留者。本周，政府雇员与被拘留者的比例约为100比1。
提交国会的数据显示，美国国防部有522名人员协助关塔那摩的移民拘留工作。联邦内部文件还显示，约有60名美国移民与海关执法局人员和非军事人员被分配到该任务中。
国防部4月向民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦提供的信息还显示，仅美军方面，关塔那摩移民拘留行动的预计成本就达7300万美元，高于此前公开报道的4000万美元预估金额。
特朗普在2025年1月表示，官员们将在关塔那摩设置3万个拘留床位。但联邦内部文件显示，该基地容纳移民被拘留者的实际容量仅约为400个床位。5月11日，床位使用率不足2%。
这些文件连同提交国会的数据，揭示了在关塔那摩关押民事移民被拘留者这一备受争议且 largely 保密的行动的现状。关塔那摩因911事件后无限期关押恐怖主义嫌疑人而臭名昭著，相关指控包括虐待、违反正当程序和酷刑。
在向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻发表的一份声明中，收到关塔那摩行动预计成本数据的沃伦指责特朗普总统和国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟“将数十亿美元纳税人资金浪费在一项残酷的移民议程上”。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系五角大楼和国土安全部置评，包括特朗普政府是否计划继续在该海军基地关押移民被拘留者的问题。
国土安全部发言人劳伦·比斯在周三的一份声明中表示：“如果你非法进入我们的国家并违反我们的法律，你可能会被关押在关塔那摩湾、CECOT或第三国。我们的信息很明确：犯罪性非法外籍人士不受美国欢迎。”
“政治秀”

公开场合，特朗普政府几乎没有透露其在关塔那摩基地关押等待驱逐者的行动细节。该基地位于古巴土地上，美国长期以来主张该地为租赁用地，而古巴政府则认为这一安排非法。
在第二届特朗普政府之前，美国政府——无论共和党还是民主党总统执政时期——都曾使用关塔那摩关押一些在海上截获的移民，包括克林顿政府时期关押的数万名海地人。
但2025年2月，官员们开始将美国移民与海关执法局在美国逮捕的被拘留者分批送往关塔那摩，以便在那里关押直至被驱逐。最初，特朗普和其高级助手誓言将把“最恶劣”的被拘留者和“高优先级刑事外籍人士”送往关塔那摩。但后续报道发现，这一说法并不完全准确。
行动启动后不久，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻就披露，关塔那摩既关押了被指有帮派或犯罪历史的移民，也关押了因缺乏严重犯罪记录——或根本没有犯罪记录——而被归类为“低风险”的被拘留者。随后在2025年4月，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻披露，指导该行动的内部政府备忘录允许官员们广泛酌情决定将谁送往关塔那摩，包括有权转移非刑事被拘留者。
官员们将被认定为“低风险”的被拘留者关押在移民行动中心，这是一个曾用于关押海上截获的寻求庇护者的军营式设施。与此同时，被认定为“高风险”的移民被拘留者则被关押在第六营，这是911事件后监狱建筑群的一部分，目前仍关押着一些恐怖主义嫌疑人。
在关塔那摩关押民事移民被拘留者的合法性仍在诉讼中。去年12月，华盛顿特区的一名联邦法官在一项初步裁决中认定，关塔那摩的移民拘留行动“过度惩罚性”且可能非法，但并未下令阻止该行动。
提起诉讼的美国公民自由联盟律师李·杰伦特表示：“使用关塔那摩只不过是政治秀，就像本届政府的许多其他政策一样。”
“特朗普政府使用关塔那摩不仅前所未有且非法，而且考虑到将这个臭名昭著的军事基地用于移民目的所带来的财政和后勤负担，这一行动没有任何合理的政策目标，”杰伦特说。
特雷莎·卡迪纳尔·布朗是乔治·W·布什和巴拉克·奥巴马总统执政时期的前国土安全部移民官员，她表示，特朗普政府设立关塔那摩和其他有争议的设施，比如佛罗里达州的“短吻鳄恶魔岛”，是为了促使在美国的非法移民自行遣返，并威慑其他人非法入境。
卡迪纳尔·布朗表示，除了美墨边境非法越境人数较低之外，关塔那摩的威慑效果难以衡量。但她说，很明显这项行动代价高昂。
“所有物资都必须运进来，对吧？我们不像从古巴进口东西，”卡迪纳尔·布朗说。“所有物资都必须从美国运往这个军事设施。成本会高得多、得多。”
Trump promised to hold 30,000 migrants at Guantanamo. A year later, it’s mostly empty.

Just eight days after returning to the White House last year, President Trump announced plans to turn the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, into a massive detention center to hold 30,000 detainees facing deportation as part of his aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration.
But a CBS News review of internal government documents and information provided to Congress shows the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay are sitting mostly empty over a year later, even though the highly publicized operation is projected to cost the American military over $70 million.
On May 11, the U.S. government was holding just six immigration detainees at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, all of them nationals of Haiti, according to federal documents obtained by CBS News. Over the past year, the documents show, 832 immigration detainees have been transferred to the base on more than 100 flights.
In fact, there are significantly more government employees assigned to the immigration detention operation at Guantanamo than detainees, according to the documents. This week, government employees outnumbered detainees roughly 100 to 1.
Figures provided to Congress indicate the Department of Defense has 522 personnel to assist with immigration detention at Guantanamo. The internal federal documents show there are around 60 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and non-military staff assigned to the mission, too.
Information provided by the Department of Defense to Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren in April also shows the Guantanamo immigration detention effort is expected to cost $73 million, just for the U.S. military. That is an increase from the previously publicly reported estimate of $40 million.
Mr. Trump said in January 2025 that officials would set up 30,000 detention beds at Guantanamo. But the internal federal documents indicate the base’s capacity to hold immigration detainees is limited to roughly 400 beds. On May 11, fewer than 2% of the beds were occupied.
Together with the numbers provided to Congress, the documents shed light on the status of the controversial and largely secretive effort to hold civil immigration detainees at Guantanamo, where the indefinite detention of post-9/11 terrorism suspects gained infamy over allegations of abuse, due process violations and torture.
In a statement to CBS News, Warren, who received the projected cost for the Guantanamo operation, accused President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of “wasting billions in taxpayer funds on a cruel immigration agenda.”
CBS News has reached out to the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security for comment, including on whether the Trump administration plans to continue the operation to hold immigrant detainees at the naval base.
In a statement Wednesday, DHS spokeswoman Lauren Bis said, “If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, you could end up in Guantanamo Bay, CECOT, or a third country. Our message is clear: criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.”
“Political theater”

Publicly, the Trump administration has released scant details about its operation to hold those awaiting deportation at the Guantanamo base, which sits on Cuban land that the U.S. has long argued is being leased. The Cuban government alleges the arrangement is illegal.
Before the second Trump administration, the U.S. government, under Republican and Democratic presidents, used Guantanamo to house some migrants intercepted at sea, including tens of thousands of Haitians during the Clinton administration.
But in February 2025, officials began sending groups of detainees arrested by ICE in the U.S. to Guantanamo, so they could be held there pending their deportation. Initially, Mr. Trump and his top aides vowed to send the “worst” detainees and “high-priority criminal aliens” to Guantanamo. But subsequent reporting found that was not entirely accurate.
Soon after the effort started, CBS News revealed Guantanamo was being used to hold both migrants with alleged gang or criminal histories, and detainees categorized as “low-risk” because they lacked serious criminal records — or any at all. Then, in April 2025, CBS News disclosed that the internal government memo governing the operation gave officials wide-ranging discretion to decide who to send to Guantanamo, including the ability to transfer non-criminal detainees there.
Officials have been housing the detainees considered to be “low-risk” at the Migration Operations Center, a barrack-like facility that had previously held asylum-seekers intercepted at sea. Meanwhile, those deemed to be “high-risk” immigration detainees have been detained at Camp VI, a section of the post-9/11 prison complex that still holds some terrorism suspects.
The legality of detaining civil immigration detainees at Guantanamo is still being litigated. In December, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., found in a preliminary ruling that the immigration detention effort at Guantanamo was “impermissibly punitive” and likely unlawful, but stopped short of blocking the operation.
Lee Gelernt, the American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who filed the lawsuit, said “the use of Guantanamo is nothing more than political theater like so many other administration policies.”
“Not only is the Trump administration’s use of Guantanamo unprecedented and illegal, but it serves no legitimate policy goal given the financial and logistical burdens of using this notorious military base for immigration purposes,” Gelernt said.
Theresa Cardinal Brown, a former DHS immigration official under presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, said the Trump administration set up Guantanamo and other controversial facilities, such as “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida, to push people in the U.S. illegally to self-deport and deter others from entering the country unlawfully.
Cardinal Brown said Guantanamo’s deterrence effect is difficult to measure, beyond the low levels of illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border. But she said it’s clear the operation has been costly.
“Everything has to be shipped in there, right? It’s not like we’re importing things from Cuba,” Cardinal Brown said. “Everything has to come from a U.S. source to that military installation. It’s going to be much, much more expensive.”
