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.
Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the other countries to hold them because we don’t want them coming back. We’re going to send them out to Guantanamo. This will double our capacity immediately. It’s a tough place to get out of. Today’s signings bring us one step closer to eradicating the scourge of migrant crimes in our communities once and for all.
Double capacity? Hold on Gitmo had a 15k person capacity? Holy shit.
The larger they make it. The harder it will be to close becauae of the money involved.
The detention capacity of Guantanamo Bay currently is around 800. I think Trump was saying that the new 30,000 capacity detention center would double the detention capacity of ICE.
