Trump plans Guantanamo Bay facility for 'worst criminal' illegal immigrants

President Donald Trump announced plans to sign an executive order establishing a 30,000-person facility at Guantanamo Bay to detain the 'worst criminal' illegal immigrants. This facility, which has historically been used for suspected terrorists, will now be repurposed to house individuals deemed a significant threat to American security. Trump emphasized that some of these migrants are so dangerous that the U.S. does not trust their home countries to accept them back, warranting their detention at Guantanamo. The new plan is part of a broader strategy to enhance U.S. immigration enforcement and aims to double the nation's capacity to detain such individuals. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement will manage the facility, which is described as a temporary transit site for migrants. This initiative aligns with Trump's ongoing efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, particularly focusing on those with criminal backgrounds.
