President Trump said he plans to use a immigration holding facility at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanama Bay in Cuba to accommodate up to 30,000 criminal immigrants expelled from the United States.

In the White House memorandumHe ordered the Pentagon and the Ministry of Land and Security to begin this process to "stop border invasion, demolish criminal Cartel and restore national sovereignty."

The Trump administration said that immigrants who were expelled from the country would not be held in the US military prison in Guantanamo. The prison now accommodates suspected foreign terrorists, including the so -called 9/11 planner Harchid Shekhn Herch Shech Mohammed. It said that they will be held in a separate region at the Guantanamo Navy Station. For decades, the regional immigration detention center has been intercepted at sea, mainly Haitians, Cuban and Dominicans.

Over the years, the facility has been largely empty. Trump said that he now wants to use it to accommodate "high priority criminals."

The Trump administration broke the news on Fox News on Wednesday, and the latter owned the air sharing details of Kristi Noem and National Defense Minister Pete Hegseth.

Hergus said that immigrants would not be detained unlimited-like in the military prison in Guantanamo, some detainees have stayed for 20 years without being accused. He said that Guantanamus would be their "way" until the government found that other countries would take it away.

He said: "This is not a camp. You don't put criminals in the camps of ISIS and other criminals." "This is a temporary transit ... When necessary, we can move thousands of people out of us. Humanistic, removed them out of our country and returned to the country they came from in the appropriate process. "

The Trump administration has not defined the time length of its "temporary transit".

It is unclear whether the current immigration holding facilities in Guantanama have enough space to accommodate 30,000 people. When Trump announced his plan for the first time, he said: "We have 30,000 beds in Guantanama to detain illegal foreigners that threaten the worst crime that threatened the American people." "Some of them are so bad, we even believe these The country holds them because we don’t want them to come back, so we send them to Guantanama. "

But Trump later said that he intends to "expand" the facility to "full load".

Vince Warren, Executive Director of the Constitutional Rights Center, said that he knew in the report of immigrants in the Guantanama detention center, "there have been no 30,000 beds for decades (there)."

Walren added: "The facility is dilapidated. It has collapsed. It is disappointed. The prohibition conditions around them were expelled from the country."

Warren acknowledged that the United States has the right to expel certain criminal convictions, while the Trump administration has expanded the type of criminal convictions that people have expelled.

However, Warren added: "This does not have the right to place them in the legitimate black hole in offshore prison, just to get rid of their sight and mind. This is not allowed by the Human Rights Law."

Secretary Hergus also said that the golf course on the Naval Base will provide space for 6,000 deported immigrants, so the Trump administration seems to be trying to identify space for thousands of people to provide space in Guotanama.

The government did not say how much it would cost. But this requires construction; people who are food and accommodation; guards or staff supervise facilities; and transportation to make immigrants there.

Trump's border Tom Homan said immigrants will take it directly. Minister of Land and Safety Num said immigration and customs law enforcement will operate the facility. She said that Congress will be suitable for all of these money.

The government did not say when immigrants expelled to Guantanama may begin.
