President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an order directing his administration to revive a migrant detention facility at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba to hold detained migrants while they await deportation.
Speaking at a signing ceremony for the Laken Riley Act — the first bill he has signed into law since becoming president — Trump said the facility would be used to warehouse detainees and massively increase the number of detention beds available for holding migrants after they are arrested by American immigration officials.
