U.S. Announces Expanded Migrant Detention at Guantanamo Bay
President Donald Trump revealed plans to expand a migrant detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, aiming to hold up to 30,000 individuals. The move, part of a new executive order, directs the Pentagon and Homeland Security to prepare the site, which already houses a separate prison for terrorism suspects.
“We’re detaining the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening Americans,” Trump stated during a White House address. His administration claims the facility will prevent “the worst of the worst” from re-entering the U.S.
Tom Homan, Trump’s border policy advisor, clarified that the existing migrant center—historically used for Haitians and Cubans intercepted at sea—will be upgraded. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will manage operations.
Funding details remain unclear, though Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said discussions with Congress are ongoing. Critics question the logistics and ethics of scaling up detention at a site synonymous with post-9/11 controversies.
This decision intensifies debates over immigration enforcement ahead of the 2024 election cycle. Stay tuned for updates as policies unfold.
