But Ms. Ingraham <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IngrahamAngle\/status\/1894448937618022717\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">posted a photograph of herself<\/a> and Mr. Hegseth standing on the roof of a building at the airstrip as they were being briefed by the two-star Army general in charge of the operation. The cargo plane from Texas could be seen in the background.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hegseth served as an Army lieutenant at Guant\u00e1namo in 2004-5, then also visited the base in 2016, when as a correspondent for Fox News he joined a news media tour of the remote prison and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/fb.watch\/xZA3NYj1eC\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> about life there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He has spoken fondly of his deployment to the base, where he served as a platoon leader for an infantry unit of the New Jersey National Guard. The unit conducted security operations for what was then a massive operation of nearly 2,600 U.S. forces and more than 600 detainees, spread out across a sprawling prison zone on a bluff overlooking the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As of Tuesday, he was visiting a much-reduced operation. The Defense Department now holds <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2021\/us\/guantanamo-bay-detainees.html\" title=\"\">15 foreign men there from the war on terrorism<\/a> at a facility called Camp 5, including six men who are charged in death-penalty cases for <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/september-11-trial-guantanamo-bay.html\" title=\"\">Al Qaeda\u2019s attacks on Sept. 11, 2001<\/a> and on the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/uss-cole-bombing-trial.html\" title=\"\">U.S.S. Cole on Oct. 12, 2000<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Next door, in a prison building called Camp 6, the Homeland Security and Defense Departments on Tuesday were housing 26 men who the Trump administration has said are designated for deportation. They included seven men from Honduras, four from Colombia, three from El Salvador, two from Guatemala and one from Ecuador, aged 23 to 62, according to a document seen by The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Nine of the migrants arrived on Tuesday\u2019s flight from El Paso, according to two government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to be identified.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hegseth has been <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.defense.gov\/News\/News-Stories\/Article\/Article\/4047625\/defense-secretary-affirms-commitment-to-border-security-plan-to-house-migrants\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">enthusiastic<\/a> about the migrant detention operation, which began holding ice prisoners removed from the United States on Feb. 4. So far it has held 178 other men, all Venezuelans, in two facilities on the base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div

href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SecDef\/status\/1894452321263763582\/photo\/2\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">posted a photo of himself having lunch<\/a> with members of the joint ICE-military task force that is staffing the operation, a combination of civilians and uniformed service members. \u201cThese warriors are directly supporting the apprehension and deportation of dangerous illegal aliens,\u201d he wrote on social media. \u201cWe cannot thank them or their families enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2021, in an appearance on Fox, Mr. Hegseth lamented that the Guant\u00e1namo detention operation had become \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6264310965001\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"

said, adding: \u201cIt could have been a great place to expeditiously interrogate, try and, you know, execute, because we are in a war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hegseth\u2019s visit comes as civil liberties lawyers have been pressing for access to the immigration agency detainees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
