President Donald Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security to expand the migrant operations center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to full capacity to provide space for high-priority criminal aliens in the United States, and to address any other immigration enforcement needs identified by the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security.
“This memorandum is issued in order to halt the border invasion, dismantle criminal cartels, and restore national sovereignty,” Trump said.
In several localities of immigration enforcement focus, such as Chicago and Seattle, known criminal aliens with ties to terror groups have already been rounded up.
Guantanamo Bay will hold up to 30,000 illegal immigrants living in the United States who cannot be deported back to their home countries because their countries refuse to repatriate them.
Guantanamo Bay has been long used to house members of terror groups. The United States shoulders the burdens for many countries, particularly in the Arab world, who are content to keep their criminals in U.S. custody. But during the Biden Administration, it was reduced in capacity from the U.S. war on terrorism. During the Biden Administration, Guantanamo Bay was reduced in capacity and had 15 detainees after 11 were sent to Oman.
“We’re going to send them out to Guantanamo,” Trump said during the signing of the order in the White House, after he signed his first bill from Congress, the Laken Riley Act.
In other words, if the home countries won’t take back their citizens, Trump will find space for them in a prison community on the parcel of land the U.S. has control of in Cuba.

The word is out. I’m guessing NOBODY wants any of that. I’m liking the idea of packing them in like sardines. Trump will get them stampeding for the Mexican border as if their tails were on fire.
Lots of fun and games using DOD funds because Homeland Security is $200 Million over budget. The Treasury Department is already juggling funds because technically the USA bank account is empty. Trump and Johnson will need to start doing their jobs soon, because on March 31 the Federal Government will shut down without new congressional authorization.
If Biden Administration had been doing their jobs we wouldn’t have this mess. Trump is doing exactly what he said he would, that’s why he won!
Yeah, the USA bank account is empty because the USA hands out money like is candy to foreign nations. Trump is trying to halt giving away the money and is being stopped by lib judges, one case in point is the $50M for Gaza condoms.
“…….on March 31 the Federal Government will shut down without new congressional authorization……..”
Yeah, and by that point, the Dems will actually be praying to the Almighty and Merciful God that this government shuts down, but I’m afraid that God ran out of mercy for those sexual perverts and freaks. It’s looking like Armageddon for ya’ll. Good luck. Been revolting knowing ya’……………..
Let it shut down. Stick to basics and reduce the waste then do a budget and stick to it.
Also, collect on the tariffs and get the other countries to pay back their debts.
What a great idea. Again, thinking out of the mainstream creates opportunities that help make Americans safer. If these “model citizens” as Biden described them, are so bad that their own countries will not take them back, it really has to tell you something.
Check out the MEGA PRISONS in El Salvador. If you thought Egg Laying chickens had it bad. I’m sure Trump will be building MAGA Prisons to show we can compete
I hope Trump is saving a special cell just for traitors Liz Cheney and Princess Lisa.
They can be cellmates — they deserve each other.
