President Donald Trump unveiled plans to establish a detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, aiming to hold up to 30,000 migrants residing illegally in the United States.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to instruct the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security to prepare a 30,000-person migrant facility at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba.

The US has maintained a migrant detention facility there for decades that is separate from the notorious high-security jail for foreign terror suspects, including alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
