President Donald Trump’s administration is pausing military deportation flights and rethinking its use of Guantánamo Bay as a migrant detention center after realizing the financial and logistical toll involved.

The Trump administration has ceased the use of military aircraft to deport migrants who entered the United States illegally, with defence officials confirming that no further such flights are currently scheduled, reported The Wall Street Journal.

The Trump administration has reportedly decided to stop using military aircraft for deportation purposes. The decision is attributed the high costs of using military planes for deportation.
