Trump says that we will send some migrants to Guantanamo Bay
US President Donald Trump has ordered the construction of a migrant detention facility at Gwantanamo Bay he said he would catch more than 30,000 people.
He said that the convenience at the US Navy base in Cuba, which would be different from its high security military jail, would give home to “the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening American people”.
Guantanamo Bay has long been used for home migrants, a practice that has been criticized by some human rights groups.
Later on Wednesday, Trump’s “Border Zar” Tom Homan stated that an existing feature will be expanded and run by immigration and customs enforcement (ICE).
He said that migrants could be taken directly there after the US Coast Guard intercepted the sea, and that the “highest” detention standards would be implemented.
It is not clear how much the facility will be or when it will be completed.
The Cuban government rapidly condemned the plan, accusing America of torture and illegal custody on the “occupied” land.
Trump was announced when he signed the so -called Leken Relay Act in the law, requiring unspecified immigrants, who are arrested for theft or violent offenses to be arrested in jail.
The bill named after a Nursing student from Georgia, who was murdered by a migrant from Venezuela last year, was approved by the Congress last week, which was an early legislative victory for the administration.
At an signature ceremony in the eastern room of the White House, Trump said that the new Guantanamo will instruct the departments of the Executive Order Defense and Homeland Security to “prepare” a 30,000-bed facility.
“Some of them are so bad that we do not trust countries to catch them, because we don’t want them to come back,” they said about migrants. “So we are going to send them to Guantanamo … It’s a difficult place to get out.”
According to Trump, this feature will double the American capacity to keep unspecified migrants.
The US is already using a feature in Guantanamo – known as Guantanamo Migrant Operations Center (GMOC) – both Republican and Democrats, for decades and through various administration.
In a 2024 report, the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) secretly accused the government of living in “inhuman” conditions there, which for indefinitely after detaining them at sea.
A nearby jail was taken into American custody for decades, after 9/11 attacks on the US in 2001. At its peak, it placed hundreds of prisoners, and many Democratic presidents including Barack Obama have vowed to close it. Currently there are 15 prisoners.
The Trump administration will allegedly ask the Congress to fund the expansion of the existing prevention facility as a spending is working to collect bill Republican.
When asked by reporters at the White House, Homeland’s Security Secretary Christie Nom said that the money would be allocated through “reconciliation and appropriation”.
The news of the expansion of the convenience was completed by the Cuba government with rapid condemnation, which has long been considered Gwantanamo Bay as “capture” by the US.
“In the Act of Cruelty Act, the new government of the US has announced that it is forcibly explored to the naval base in Gwantanamo located in the illegally occupied Cuba region, forcibly exploded to the migrants, which is near the known jails of torture and illegal torture and illegal jails It will be located.
