President Trump: 30,000 Headed To Guantanamo Bay!


President Trump has announced he will be signing an Executive Order to prepare a huge facility at Guantánamo Bay used to house deported illegal aliens.

Trump made his announcement shortly before signing the Laken Riley Act into law.

Trump stated, “We have 30,000 beds in Guantánamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people.”

“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 going to send them out to Guantánamo,” added Trump.

President Trump signed a memo on Wednesday to prepare a massive facility at Guantánamo Bay to be used to house deported migrants.

Trump had earlier teased he intended to do so during a signing ceremony for an immigration-related bill.

The memo will direct the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to prepare a 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantánamo Bay, a facility in Cuba that has been used to house military prisoners, including several involved in the 9/11 attacks.

“We have 30,000 beds in Guantánamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people,” Trump said during an event to sign the Laken Riley Act into law, stiffening the nation’s immigration laws.

“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 going to send them out to Guantánamo,” Trump added. “This will double our capacity immediately. And tough, it’s a tough place to get out of.”

Per Fox News:

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he would sign an executive order for the Pentagon to prepare Guantanamo Bay to detain 30,000 “criminal illegal aliens.”

“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,” Trump said. “Most people don’t even know about it.”

He said there are 30,000 beds at Guantanamo to house the detainees who pose a threat to the American public, adding that putting them there will ensure they do not come back.
