Former President Donald Trump announced plans to send up to 30,000 illegal immigrants to detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay. This announcement came shortly after Trump signed the Laken Riley Act, a hardline immigration measure, into law. Trump stated that these individuals pose a threat to American people and some are so dangerous that their home countries cannot be trusted to hold them. The bill is named after a Georgia nursing student murdered by an unauthorized immigrant. Trump also directed the Department of Defense and Homeland Security to expand the Guantanamo Bay facility to full capacity.
DONALD Trump has revealed plans to send up to 30,000 illegal immigrants to detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay .Trump’s remarks came just before he signed the Laken Riley Act - a hardline immigration measure pushed through with some Democratic support - into official law.“Today I’m also signing an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay “Most people don’t even know about it.
The Laken Riley Act requires the detention of unauthorised immigrants accused of theft and violent crimes. The infamous detention facility at Guantanamo Bay was first set up in 2002 by then-US President George W Bush to detain foreign militant suspects following the September 11 2001, attacks.On Tuesday, the US military said that it would allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain migrants at Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado.Trump said the executive order brings the U.S. one step closer to "eradicating the scourge" of migrant crime in communities, once and for all.
