US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he would order the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security to prepare a migrant facility in Guantanamo Bay for up to 30,000 migrants.
The US naval base in Cuba is already housing a migrant facility from the high security prison for foreign terrorist suspects, which has been used occasionally for decades, including the Haushaitian and Cubans who have been picked up at sea.
But a move after tens of thousands of migrants at the base would again expand the role of Pentagon at Trump against illegal immigration.
“Today I also sign an application from the executive to instruct the defense and home protection authorities to prepare the 30,000-person migrant migrant facility in Guantanamo Bay,” said Trump in the White House.
He said the facility was used to “capture the worst criminal illegal foreigners that threaten the American people. Some of them are so bad that we don’t even trust that the countries do not want them to do so that they don’t want them to come back, so “, so”, so “I will send them to Guantanamo.
The prison in Guantanamo Bay was founded in 2002 by the then President George W. Bush to capture foreign militant suspects after the attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. There are 15 prisoners in prison.
However, the facility for migrants is separated from the detention center on the basis.
The US defense minister Pete Hegseth spoke to the analyst of FOX News, who spoke the impending plans of US President Donald Trump to prepare a migrant function in Guantanamo Bay for tens of thousands of migrants on January 29, 2025. the furnishings are separated from the internment camp.
On Tuesday, the US military said that the immigration and customs authority would arrest migrants at the Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado.
The decision is based on the military deportation flights of migrants from the country and the use of just more than 1,600 troops with an active service at the US border to Mexico after Trump’s emergency room for immigration last week.
Refunds of federal grants, loan freezing order
Also on Wednesday, Trump’s household office raised an order expenditure for federal grants, less than two days after she had triggered widespread confusion and legal challenges in the United States
The Monday evening decision of the office for management and budget of the White House caused uncertainty about a decisive financial lifeline for states, schools and organizations, which are dependent on trillion dollars from Washington and left the white house to explain what and would not be exposed And not. For a break in financing.
The White House confirmed that the household office revoked the order on Wednesday in a two -year announcement to agencies and departments, but said that Trump’s underlying executive regulations that are directed against federal expenditure in areas such as diversity, equity and inclusion and climate change.
The administrative officials said that the decision to hire loans and grants was necessary to check to ensure that Trump’s latest lightning flashes meet the executive commands. The agencies were instructed to answer a number of yes or no questions about each federal program by February 7th.
The questions included “promotes gender -specific ideology?” And “does this program promote abortion in any way?”
The vague formulated memo, combined with incomplete answers from the White House all day long, left legislators, civil servants and average Americans who are struggling to find out which programs would be influenced by the break. Even temporary financing interruptions can lead to layoffs or delays in public services.
The freezing should come into force on Tuesday at 5 p.m., but was given to a federal judge until at least Monday after a hearing of non-profit groups that receive federal granting. An additional lawsuit by the Attorney General of the Democratic Public Prosecutors was also due.
“The executive regulations issued by the President via financing reviews remain fully in force and effect and are strictly implemented by all agencies and departments,” said Karoline Leavitt’s press spokesman.
“This lawsuit should effectively end the legal proceedings and enable the government to concentrate on the enforcement of the president’s orders when checking the federal expenditure.”
Trump administration officers said programs that provide the Americans, including Medicare, Social Insurance, Student Loan and Food Markers, direct support. But sometimes they fought to provide a clear picture.
Leavitt would initially not say whether Medicaid was freed from freezing, but the administration later made it clear that this was the case.
Although Trump had promised to turn Washington upside down for a second term, the effects of his efforts to pause the financing were felt far from the capital of the nation. Organizations such as meals on wheels that receive federal money for the transfer of food to older people, and Head Start, which offers early childhood care in communities with lower incomes, are worried.
Democratic critics of the order moved quickly to celebrate the action.
“This is an important victory for the American people, whose voices were heard from every corner of this country after massive pressure – real people have made a difference by talking out,” said Sen. Patty Murray.
“Nevertheless, the Trump administration has really caused damage and chaos through a combination of pure incompetence, cruel intentions and intentional disregard for millions for millions in the past 48 hours, which is still directed.
The Democratic Chairman of the Senate, Chuck Schumer from New York, said that “the Americans have repelled and Donald Trump retired.”
