While delivering remarks at a signing ceremony for the Laken Riley Act on Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced that he will be sending many of the most violent illegal alien criminals to the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, also known as Gitmo.
Trump noted that some illegal alien criminals are too violent to deport.
“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… we have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo… to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people,” the president announced.
“Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the countries to hold them, because we don’t want them coming back,” Trump explained.
“This will double our capacity immediately,” he said, adding that the Gitmo prison is a “tough place to get out of.”

The massive detention center was established in January 2002 by President George W. Bush, to hold terror suspects following the September 11, 2001 terror attack against the United States.
At least 780 terror suspects from 48 countries have been held at Gitmo, but now only 15 reportedly remain at the prison.
Joe Biden released 25 terror suspects from Gitmo in January, just before he left office.
President Trump is now going to start filling it up with illegal alien criminals.
