President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested as many as 30,000 criminal migrants may be sent to the complex.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday joined Fox News to announce United States military prison Guantanamo Bay would soon be prepared to house illegal migrants who had been deported form the country.
“Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them, because we don't want them coming back, so we're gonna send them out to Guantanamo,” Trump said. “This will double our capacity immediately, right? And tough. That's a tough, that's a tough place to get out of.”“It wont take very long at all,” she said. “We already have some dangerous criminals there that are illegal aliens and the facilities can be set up fairly quickly.
"Because there’s a military base, there’s not as much scrutiny," he added. "There's no transparency. There’s no information about what happens there."
