Trump plans to send 30,000 migrants to Guantanamo Bay | BBC News
President Trump has signed an executive order to set up a 30,000-person facility for undocumented migrants in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
Donald Trump said the facility – which is separate to the high-security US military prison also located there – will be used to house “criminal illegal aliens” that are deemed to pose a public safety risk in the US.
Cuba’s government swiftly condemned the announcement, accusing the US of torture and illegal detention on “occupied” land on the island.
The US administration’s new border tsar, Tom Homan, said that an existing migrant detention centre at the base would be expanded amid an increase in migrant detentions and deportations during the Trump administration.
Trump’s announcement came as he signed an Act into law requiring undocumented immigrants who are arrested for theft or violent crimes to be held in jail pending trial.
The US has already been using a facility in Guantanamo – known as the Guantanamo Migrant Operations Center – for decades. In a 2024 report, the International Refugee Assistance Project accused the US government of secretly holding migrants there in “inhumane” conditions indefinitely after detaining them at sea.

Only one athlete beat a world record at the controversial Enhanced Games in Las Vegas.
Results at the inaugural Games are considered illegal by global sporting bodies, such as the International Olympic Committee and World Anti-Doping Agency, because athletes can take banned performance-enhancing drugs.
The competition featured events in athletics, weightlifting and swimming.

Oil prices have fallen sharply and Asian stock markets have risen on hopes of a deal that could bring an end to the US-Israel war with Iran.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a visit to India that negotiators had a “pretty solid thing on the table” and an agreement to end the conflict might be reached on Monday.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said at the weekend the two sides were both “very close and very far” from reaching an agreement.
According to US media, the mooted deal is not a final settlement and instead leaves some of the thorniest issues to be negotiated later, including the scope and timing of Iranian sanctions relief, the release of frozen Iranian funds, and Washington’s demands for Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions.
