What is President Trump proposing to build at Guantanamo Bay?
President Trump is proposing to build a massive detention facility at Guantanamo Bay to hold tens of thousands of migrants. According to his announcement, the facility would have 30,000 beds to detain what he describes as "the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people." The proposed expansion would nearly double ICE's current detention capacity of 40,000 people. Critics have described this plan as resembling a concentration camp, raising serious human rights concerns given Guantanamo's history of reported torture, inhumane conditions, and lack of oversight. The facility would be located in the same area that has been criticized for cruel treatment of detainees and limited access to legal representation.
