President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday plans to reopen a detention center in Guantanamo Bay, claiming the facility can hold up to 30,000 undocumented migrants. But documents show the actual capacity of the center may be much lower than that.
Trump made the announcement right before signing the Laken Riley Act into law, which gives federal authorities broader power to deport undocumented immigrants in the U.S. who have been accused of certain crimes. The legislation was named after Riley, a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student who was murdered last year by a Venezuelan undocumented migrant.
