President Donald Trump signed a memorandum directing the federal government to prepare the US Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to house tens of thousands of migrants. The memorandum calls for additional detention space at Guantanamo for 'high-priority criminal aliens unlawfully present in the United States.'
During a White House address, Trump highlighted the availability of 30,000 beds at Guantanamo to detain criminal illegal aliens, emphasizing an immediate doubling of capacity. This move aligns with the Laken Riley Act, recently passed by Congress with bipartisan support, mandating the detention of undocumented migrants charged with specific crimes.
