US President Donald Trump has ordered the construction of migrants’ custody in Guantanamo Bay, which he said he would have as many as 30,000 people.
He said that an American Navy based facility in Cuba, which will be separated from his high -security military prison, will accommodate “the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people.”
The Guantanamo Bay has long been used to accommodate immigrants, which some human rights groups have criticized.
Later on Wednesday, Trump’s “Border Emperor” Tom Homan said that the existing facility would expand and conduct immigration and customs implementation (Ice) there.
He said that migrants could be transported there shortly after the now -now -and -and -in -sea guard and that the “highest” detention standards would be applied.
It is unclear how much the object will cost or when it will be completed.
Cuba’s government quickly condemned the plan, accusing now of torture and illegally detention on the “occupied” country.
Trump’s announcement arrived while signing the so -called Laken Riley Act, which requires unfathomable immigrants arrested for theft or violent crime that will be held in prison until trial.
The proposal of the law, named after a student of Nurses in Georgia, killed last week by the Venecuelan migrant, has approved the Congress last week, which is an early legal victory for administration.
At the signing ceremony in the east room of the White House, Trump said that the New Guantanamo Executive order would send departments for defense and homeland security to “start preparing” an object with 30,000 beds.
“Some of them are so bad that we do not even believe the countries to hold them, because we do not want them to come back,” he said of migrants. “So we will send them to Guantanamo … It’s a difficult place to go out.”
According to Trump, the facility will double the US ability to hold unfathomrated migrants.
For decades, they have been through various administrations, and through various administrations, both Republican and democracy.
In the 2024 report, the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) accused the Government of secretly holding migrants in “inhumane” conditions of indefinitely after being attracted to the sea.
In nearby prison, he had been held by detainees for decades, taken into custody in the United States after the attack on September 11th on the USA 2001. At the height, he held hundreds of prisoners, and several democratic presidents, including Barack Obama, vowed to close him. There are currently 15 prisoners there.
Trump’s administration will allegedly ask Congress to fund the spread of an existing detention facility as part of the spending of the law that Republicans work at the gathering.
Asked by a journalist at the White House, the Minister of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said only that the money would be assigned to “reconciliation and allocations”.
The news of the expansion of the facility welcomed a quick condemnation by the Cuban government, which has long considered the Gvantanamo Bay “occupied” by the US.
“In the ACT ACT, in brutality, the new US Government has announced that it will be closed in a naval basis in Guantanamo, located on illegally occupied Cuban territory, thousands of forcibly expelled migrants, which will be located near the famous pisons of torture and illegal detention” , Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel wrote on X.
