Trump Repurposes Guantanamo Amid Immigration Crackdown

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to prepare a facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to house up to 30,000 undocumented immigrants, amidst his administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. Guantanamo Bay, historically used for detaining terrorism suspects, will now be repurposed to detain 'criminal illegal aliens' as part of a broader immigration policy overhaul. The move has sparked controversy due to Guantanamo's notorious history of human rights violations and indefinite detentions. Critics, including Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel, have condemned the plan as 'an act of brutality.' This decision is part of Trump's broader measures, including canceling Biden's Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans, to combat illegal immigration. The plan reflects ongoing efforts to expand detention capacity and enforce stricter immigration controls.
