Ten detainees were reportedly flown from the Fort Bliss Army base near the Texas border to the US Navy base in Cuba on Tuesday afternoon.

A brief statement from the Department of Homeland Security said the detainees were part of the Tren de Aragua - a gang that originated in Venezuela's prisons.
A US media house said ten detainees were flown from the Fort Bliss Army base near the Texas border to the US Navy base in Cuba on Tuesday afternoon.
Last week, Mr. Trump ordered that an existing migrant detention facility at the base be expanded to hold some 30,000 people.
