Trump admin using Guantanamo to detain foreigners from 26 countries.

The claim that the Trump administration used Guantanamo Bay to detain foreigners from 26 countries is supported by multiple sources. CBS News and Yahoo News report that officials transferred detainees from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Europe to Guantanamo Bay as part of an expanded immigration detention strategy under the Trump administration. The detainees include foreign nationals from 26 countries and some have criminal records.

This marks a shift from Guantanamo's previous primary use as a military detention center for terrorism suspects. While the claim is accurate in describing the use of Guantanamo for detaining foreigners from many countries, it is important to note that this was part of a broader immigration enforcement policy rather than solely a military or national security measure. The Wikipedia source also mentions preparations to house tens of thousands of immigrants at Guantanamo under Trump’s orders, reinforcing the scale of this policy.

Therefore, the claim is mostly true but should be understood in the context of immigration detention expansion rather than traditional military detention.
