What will Trump do, and when was the plan announced?
It’s unknown yet if the Trump administration will comply with Mexico’s request, which comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s order to house potentially tens of thousands of migrants at the naval base in Cuba.
President Trump announced those plans just a week ago.
On Wednesday, Jan. 29, Trump said, “Today, I’m signing an executive order to instruct the departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantánamo Bay to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people.”
How will it impact migrants in the United States?
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said the first flight to Guantánamo Bay carried 9-10 migrants that it described as “highly dangerous criminals.” The agency did not reveal the migrants’ nationalities or their apparent crimes.
DHS officials declined to comment on whether migrant women, children or families would be held in Guantánamo Bay.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the Trump administration does not plan on holding migrants at the facility indefinitely and would follow federal laws.
DHS officials also said detained migrants will be held separately from terror suspects, including those involved in planning the 9/11 terror attacks.
