The latter is particularly interesting, in that history suggests that a new CMU might have been established in another prison without that fact necessarily being public knowledge.

Or you could just go with Camp Seven at Guantanamo Bay...
Could he be administratively transfered to a CMU, but remain officially under the command responsibility of a Colonel Andrew Burr of the US Army Counterintelligence while the Onyx Rain team visits Manhanock Asylum for the Criminally Insane* (and possible longer, if operationally necessary)?

There were two Army CID agents assigned to the transfer of Inmate Taylor, but given that Manhanock is a highly secure facility with strict rules for who can go there and absolutely no one armed except the tower guards, it would be best if they could wait until the Onyx Rain team is done in there.

A joint task force including US Army Counterintelligence, Army CID and plenty of DHS personnel, including federal law enforcement Special Agents (1811), should have legal competence to take custody of Taylor while he awaits processing into a CMU, right?

And there is no need for the CID agents involved to be cleared for all aspects of operations that fall under Onyx Rain, is there?

*Incidentally, Manhanock appears to be a mental institution equivalent of a CMU.
