Washington, D.C. – President Donald Trump announced plans to expand the migrant detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, instructing the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security to prepare for up to 30,000 detainees.
Speaking at a press briefing, Trump emphasized the need for stricter immigration enforcement, stating that the expansion would help manage the growing number of migrants entering the U.S. illegally. “We are taking decisive action to secure our borders and ensure that those who enter illegally are properly detained,” he said.
The move has sparked immediate controversy, with human rights organizations and lawmakers criticizing the decision. Opponents argue that using Guantanamo Bay—a facility historically associated with terrorism suspects—sets a dangerous precedent for immigration policy.
Pentagon officials have yet to outline a timeline for the expansion, but sources indicate that the administration aims to move quickly. Meanwhile, legal challenges to the plan are expected as advocacy groups prepare to push back against the measure.
