President Trump's plan to house illegal migrants at Guantanamo Bay
President Trump plans to house 30,000 illegal migrants at Guantanamo Bay as part of a crackdown on illegal migration, using the military base historically used for terror suspects. The facility will be used to detain the 'worst of the worst' migrants who are accused of crimes, and it will double the current capacity of the base. Trump's announcement follows continued law enforcement raids across the country and negotiations with Colombia over deported nationals.
