00:00Gabby, thank you for taking my question. I wanted to run back to TDA and MS-13 deportations to El
00:06Salvador's terrorism confinement center. Do we anticipate to renew that partnership as it will
00:12conclude after one year? If yes, what does that look like from a cost perspective? And how is
00:18Guantanamo Bay factored into dealing with criminal aliens and terrorists, considering this new
00:22Pentagon is more focused on securing the border? Well, that's a great question. So I think part of
00:28your question about El Salvador should be referred to the State Department. But I'll say
00:33that the Department of Defense is proud to defend our homeland and our sovereignty in helping to
00:41deport transnational criminal organizations like Trend AI. We're proud to support that mission.
00:46Admiral General, do you have anything to offer about Guantanamo Bay and our force posture there?
00:50Sure. I just had a couple of things for you, Gabby. We do continue to have a substantial
00:55presence at Guantanamo Bay to ensure that we're ready to receive any illegal aliens that the
01:01Department of Homeland Security would like to send there. We're monitoring their requirements
01:07closely and we're in daily contact with them to make sure that we can meet them to the best of
01:11our ability. Thank you. Tom.
