During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, US Marine Corps Gen. Francis Donovan, commander of US Southern Command, said the military will set up a camp at Guantánamo Bay to handle Cuban migrants amid concerns over a potential mass migration event. Donovan said US Southern Command is prepared to support the Department of Homeland Security, which would lead such an effort, with DHS officials taking charge and the military following. The administration has already signed an executive order to expand the Migrant Operations Center at Guantánamo Bay to over 30,000 beds. Senators raised the prospect of a humanitarian crisis in Cuba amid an ongoing US fuel blockade of the country.
