The U.S. will send the “worst criminal illegals” to the Bay, according to Trump
Trump’s border facility in Cuba, a permanent detention facility for deported criminals, and a request for the Pentagon to send a memo to the Pentagon
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said migrants would be flown there directly. Noem said Immigration and Customs Enforcement would run the facility. She said Congress would appropriate money for that.
The administration didn’t say how much the plan would cost. But it would require construction; food and lodging for the people held there; guards or staff to oversee the facility; and transportation to get migrants there.
The president says he wants to use a naval base in Cuba to hold up to 30,000 criminals deported from the U.S. He brought this up at a bill signing event with the notion to detain “the worst criminal illegal aliens.” Trump raised the idea of reusing the base during his first term but never did. The Homeland Security secretary acknowledged that the administration would need Congress to approve spending money on the concept.
“It doesn’t mean the United States can put them in a legal black hole in an offshore prison to get them out of sight and out of mind,” Warren said. That’s not allowed by human rights law.
Warren said the US has the right to deport people with certain criminal convictions, even though the Trump administration has widened the types of criminal convictions for which people are deportable.
There haven’t been 30,000 beds in the facility in decades, said Vince Warren, the executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights.
This isn’t the camp. You’re not putting criminals in camps where ISIS and other criminals He said that they are. “This is a temporary transit … where we can plus-up thousands and tens of thousands, if necessary, to humanely move illegals out of our country, where they do not belong, back to the countries where they came from in a proper process.”
The Trump administration said the deported migrants would not be held in the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo that now houses suspected foreign terrorists, including alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Instead, it said, they would be held in a separate area on the naval station portion of Guantánamo, which for decades has had a detention facility for migrants intercepted at sea, mostly Haitians, Cubans and Dominicans.
In a White House memo, he ordered the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security to begin that process to “halt the border invasion, dismantle criminal cartels and restore national sovereignty.”
The Homeland Security Secretary and Defense Secretary shared details on air about the plan, which was broadcast on Fox News.
