announced plans to sign an executive order instructing the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing a 30,000-bedat the White House Wednesday afternoon to prepare a migrant facility at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, which was used to detain suspected terrorists during the George W. Bush administration.
“We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people,” Trump said. “Some of them are so bad, we don’t even trust countries to hold them because we don’t want them coming back. So we’re going to send them out to Guantanamo.” While initially popular, public outcry against Guantanamo grew throughout the Bush administration, and his successor, President Barack Obama, pledged in 2009 to close the facility within one year. However, opposition from Congress prevented Guantanamo’s closure.
“Today’s signings bring us one step closer to eradicating the scourge of migrant crime in our communities once and for all,” Trump said. “It’s just an unforced error that we even have to be doing this.”
