RT reported that President Donald Trump has just announced a plan to expand the detention facility at the US Navy base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to detain up to 30,000 deported immigrants.
The plan was revealed during the signing of the Laken Riley Law, which stipulates detention and deportation of immigrants accused of theft and violence, even if they have not yet been sentenced. Mr. Trump explained that these people are too dangerous, we cant trust other countries to keep them, because we dont want them back. So we will send them to Guantanamo, where it is difficult to escape."
Guantanamo Bay has long been known as a place to detain terrorist suspects, but there is also a migration center. President Donald Trump said he would sign an executive order so that the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security could prepare a basis for receiving the new recruits.
"Most people don't know that we have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the most dangerous criminals. This will help us erase the rampage of migration crimes in communities," Trump said.
Since his first term in office, President Donald Trump has issued a series of executive decrees to reform the immigration system. The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is stepping up its operations nationwide, with hundreds of arrests every day. The target cities include Boston, New York, Newark and San Francisco.
The Trump administration has also increased deportations by using military aircraft and threatening to impose tariffs or provide foreign aid if it refuses to receive citizens back.
The Gulf of Guantanamo has been a US naval base since 1903, becoming a terrorist prison under President George W. Bush in 2002. The facility has been criticized for allegations of torture and indefinite detention. Currently, there are still 15 prisoners detained here, many of whom have never been charged.
The Cuban government has repeatedly condemned the US's maintenance of this basis, calling it a violation of sovereignty and human rights. On his first day in office, President Donald Trump overturned his predecessor Joe Biden's decision to return Cuba to the list of "terrorist sponsor countries".
highold immigration policy
After taking office on January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump has quickly implemented a series of new immigration policies, demonstrating a tough stance and determination to control the border.
On his first day in office, President Trump declared a national emergency at the US-Mexico border, allowing the deployment of troops to support border forces and speeding up the completion of the border wall. This move aims to prevent illegal immigration and enhance border security.
One of the most controversial policies is the termination of civil rights based on birthplace. Accordingly, children born in the US but whose parents are not citizens or legal permanent residents will not be automatically granted US citizenship. This policy aims to reduce the situation of "child tourism" and control the immigrant population.
The Trump administration has also suspended the refugee resettlement program for at least four months to review and reform the approval process. The goal is to ensure that only refugees who meet strict security and humanitarian standards are allowed to enter the country.
In the first days of the term, the authorities conducted a series of searches, arrested more than 530 illegal immigrants and deported hundreds of them.
President Donald Trump's new immigration policies have caused mixed reactions. Proponents say they are necessary to protect national security and maintain social order. However, there are also concerns about the possibility of human rights violations and creating a humanitarian crisis, especially in the separation of families and treatment of refugees.
