Trump says he's ordering Guantanamo Bay to be prepared to host up to 30,000 migrants
Briefly

President Trump announced plans to prepare the Guantanamo Bay Naval base to accommodate up to 30,000 migrants by signing an executive action. This follows his signing of the Laken Riley Act, aimed at detaining undocumented migrants charged with specific crimes. While Trump emphasizes increasing detention capacity for combating migrant crime, officials express skepticism about the current condition and capacity of Guantanamo's facilities. Historically, the base has been used for processing migrants during crises, but claims about available accommodations may not reflect the present reality.
Today's signings bring us one step closer to eradicating the scourge of migrant crime in our communities once and for all, Trump said.
Most people don't even know about it. We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people.
