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

They were part of the Tren de Aragua - a gang that originated in Venezuela 's prisons.

Last week , Trump ordered that an existing migrant detention facility at the base be expanded to hold some 30,000 people.

The move is part of Trump 's effort to crack down on undocumented migrants in the US .
