Trump orders Pentagon and DHS to make arrangements for migrant housing at Guantanamo Bay


President Donald Trump signed a memo directing the expansion of a facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to house thousands of migrants in an effort to stop what he called a “border invasion.” The memo instructs the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Homeland Security to prepare the Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay for high-priority criminal aliens in the United States. Trump mentioned during a signing ceremony that the facility could accommodate up to 30,000 people.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that resources could be established at Guantánamo Bay for the worst criminal illegal aliens. Trump has previously declared a national emergency at the border and signed executive orders to address illegal immigration. The announcement caught officials at the Pentagon off guard, but it is expected to be a Homeland Security Department mission with potential military involvement.

There are uncertainties regarding the number of beds at Guantanamo currently and the duration of this mission. There are no plans to upgrade military facilities there at the moment. The Migrant Operations Center at Guantanamo could be expanded with military construction assistance and operated by the Department of Homeland Security. The president’s decision has sparked concerns and questions among officials about the logistics and implications of using Guantanamo for migrant detention.
