President
Trump intends to utilize a migrant detention facility at the U.S. Naval Base in
Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to accommodate up to 30,000 deported criminal migrants
from the United States.
In
a White House memo, he ordered the Pentagon and Department of Homeland
Security to begin that process to "halt the border invasion, dismantle
criminal cartels and restore national sovereignty."
The
Trump administration said the deported migrants would not be held in the U.S.
military prison at Guantánamo that now houses suspected foreign terrorists,
including alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Instead, it said,
they would be held in a separate area on the naval station portion of
Guantánamo, which for decades has had a detention facility for migrants
intercepted at sea, mostly Haitians, Cubans and Dominicans.
