Donald Trump ordered Pentagon to prepare an American naval base at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba to receive thousands of immigrants with criminal letters.
The US president has announced a plan from the White House on Wednesday, in a move that will massively expand the use of an object that has been a high suspect’s destination since 2002.
This move comes because Trump’s administration tries to quickly apply the promised action on the unfathomable immigrantsincluding First attacks in larger cities and distributing the hull to the Mexican border.
“We have 30,000 beds in Guantánam to attract the worst criminal illegal aliens that threaten the American people,” ” Trump said. “Some of them are so bad that we do not even believe the countries to hold them. Since we do not want to return, so we will send them to Guantánamo.”
Trump has put a lot of pressure on countries including Mexico and Colombia to accept immigrants Sent from the USA Return to their countries of origin, but his comments suggest that some would instead be transferred to a military base in Cuba.
The president said he was looking for US defense and homeland departments to “start preparing” Guantánamo Bay facility for migrant accommodation.
“This will double our capacity immediately, is it? It’s a difficult place to get out,” Trump added. He later signed a memorandum for the implementation of the plan.
“Let’s go after these guys,” said Kristi Noem, Minister for Homeland Security, on Wednesday afternoon at the White House, speaking with Tom Homan, Trump’s Tsar border.
Homan said that the Immigration Agency and customs implementation would run an object in Cuba. “It’s already a migrant center, it’s been there for decades. So, we’ll just expand to that existing migrant center,” he said.
The American Navy Basis at the Guantánamo Bay is housed in the past of migrants, including refugees from Haiti, but not on the ladder that Trump suggested in his comments on Wednesday. During his presidential campaign last year, he repeatedly promised mass deportations aimed at estimated at 11 million unfathomable immigrants to the United States, although administration officials said that the initial priority would be deported to those with criminal letters.
The Navy base on the island of Kuba has rented the US since 1903, and continued to use despite decades of the long economic embargo that Washington held on the island state. The prison gained a notoriousness during the ‘war against terrorism’ because of the alleged torture and harassment of people who held themselves in the facility.
