Trump says US will send some migrants to Guantanamo Bay
US President Donald Trump ordered an immigration detention center in Guantanamo Bay, a immigrant detention center, saying that the facility will hold as many as 30,000 people.
He said that facilities in the Cuban US Navy base will be separated from its high security military prison, and it will place “the worst criminal illegal foreigners threatening the American people.”
For a long time, Guantanamo Bay has been used to accommodate immigration, which has been criticized by some human rights organizations.

Trump announced that the news was because he signed the so -called Lyken Lelly Act, which requested that immigrants who were arrested without a license or violent crime before being sentenced to imprisonment.
The bill was named after a nursing student in Georgia. The student was murdered by Venezuela last year and was approved by Congress last week. This was the government’s early legislative victory.
Trump said at the signing ceremony held in the East Room of the White House that the new Guantanamo administrative order will instruct the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Land and Security to “start” 30,000 beds of beds.
When he talked about immigrants, he said, “Some of them are so bad, we don’t even believe these countries hold them because we don’t want them to come back.” “Therefore, we will send them to Guantanama … This is a very good one It’s hard to go out. “
According to Trump, the facility will double the ability of the United States to hold a certificateless immigration.
The United States has used the facilities of the Guantanama Immigration Action Center (GMOC) facilities at the Guantanamo Immigration Action Center (GMOC), and through various governments of the Republican and Democratic Party.

The general manager is mainly an immigrant that takes over at sea. Recently is the theme of the freedom of information of the free alliance of the American Citizens to disclose the records of the location.
The Biden government replied, “This is not a detention center, and the immigrants there are not detained.”
However, the Trump administration stated that the plans to expand their facilities are designed to be detention centers.
According to reports, it will ask Congress to provide funds for the expansion of the existing detention centers as part of the Republican Party of the expenditure bill.
When a White House reporter asked the Minister of Land and Safety, Kristi Noem, saying that this would only allocate the money through “reconciliation and allocation”.
For decades, Guantanamo’s military prison has been detained by the detainees after launching an attack on the United States in 2001.
At its peak, it holds hundreds of prisoners, including several Democratic Presidents, including Barack Obama, vowed to close it. Fifteen prisoners are currently detained there.
The Cuban government has quickly condemned the expansion of the facility, which condemned the long -term believe that Guantanamo Bay was “occupied” and condemned Fidel Castro since he swept the electricity in 1959, and condemned the United States The presence of the navy on the island.
“In the Cruel Act, the new US government announced that it will be imprisoned at Guantanamo’s naval base. The base is located in the Cuban territory illegally occupied. Thousands of deported immigrants will be detained near known torture prisons and illegal prisons. “MagueldÃaz-Canel, President of Cuba, wrote on X.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said the announcement showed “contempt for human conditions and international law.”
