Trump says U.S. will send "worst criminal illegal aliens" to Guantanamo Bay
Read Original Source
President Trump on Wednesday announced he's signing an executive order instructing the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security to prep Guantanamo Bay for use as a migrant detention facility for "the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people." The president made the announcement from the White House before he signed the Laken Riley Act, a new law that expands the mandatory detention of migrants to include noncitizens who are charged with burglary, larceny, theft or shoplifting.
AI Summary
Main Idea: President Donald Trump said he will use Guantanamo Bay to hold what he called the “worst criminal illegal aliens,” directing the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security to prepare the site.
Key Points:
- Trump announced the plan while signing the Laken Riley Act, which expands mandatory detention for some migrants charged with theft-related crimes.
- He said Guantanamo has room for about 30,000 detainees, though the article says that number is unclear.
- The base already has a separate migrant screening center, while the military prison there still holds terrorism suspects.
- Cuba condemned the move, calling it an act of brutality and saying Guantanamo is on illegally occupied territory.
