Ten Tren de Aragua gangbangers were among the first migrant criminals loaded onto a plane and shipped off to Guantanamo Bay this week.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Wednesday that the TdA creeps were hauled off on a flight out of El Paso, Texas, to Cuba Tuesday afternoon.

“Overall, our heroic ICE agents continue to prioritize the removal of violent criminal illegal aliens in communities across the country,” said Leavitt.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shared photos of the handcuffed and grim-faced migrant criminals wearing gray prison sweats as they were escorted across the tarmac in Fort Bliss, Texas.

“President [Trump] has been very clear: Guantanamo Bay will hold the worst of the worst. That starts today,” Noem said.

The federal government has traditionally used Guantanamo Bay to house foreign terrorists, while also maintaining extra space to house illegal migrants.

President Trump recently signed an order to further expand the capacity for illegal migrants there, directing the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security to make space for 30,000 more.

“So we’re going to send them out to Guantanamo,” Trump said while announcing the order. “This will double our capacity immediately, right? And, it’s a tough place to get out of.” 

Guantanamo would be used to house “the worst of the worst” of criminal migrants, border czar Tom Homan said.

In preparation of the new migrant arrivals, 200 US Marines were deployed to help erect tents to expand the capacity of the Navy base.

Trump-ordered raids have netted thousands of arrests of illegal migrants across the country, including dozens of Tren de Aragua gangbangers in New York and Aurora, Colorado.

During a recent trip to the southern border, newly-appointed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called Guantanamo Bay the “perfect place” for “hardened criminals.”
