TRUMP: ‘GUANTANAMO … THAT’S A TOUGH PLACE TO GET OUT OF’: When President Donald Trump announced yesterday, at the signing of the Laken Riley Act, that he was ordering the Pentagon to prepare an existing migrant facility at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to receive up to 30,000 of “the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people,” he made it sound like they would be held there indefinitely.

“Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the countries to hold them, because we don’t want them coming back. So we’re going to send them out to Guantanamo,” Trump said. “That’s a tough place to get out of.” Trump’s executive order signed later also referred to the need to expand the Migrant Operations Center to full capacity to “provide additional detention space for high-priority criminal aliens.”
