In what has developed as an obvious strategy on the part of President Donald Trump – announcing new plans even before his detractors can react to a previous strategy – he has confirmed that he's asking for a detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to hold up to 30,000 illegal aliens.
Trump only a day earlier, had announced a freeze on some government spending so those expenditures could be evaluated over whether they were being used for now-discontinued diversity and other racist programs. Then he rescinded the freeze while confirming that the review of those spending programs would continue.
Then he announced a plan for an executive order to the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to start readying a detention center.
One prominent Democrat has admitted the Trump administration is moving so quickly on so many fronts members of his party already are "fatigued."
The Washington Examiner described it as a "surprise declaration" that came during the signing of the Laken Riley Act.
Guantanamo Bay, a U.S. holding on the island of Cuba, was used to detain suspected terrorists during the George W. Bush administration. Barack Obama claimed he would close it down within a year but failed. Of late, it has seen a lower and lower population of terror suspects as Joe Biden freed a number of them.
"Today, I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay. Most people don't even know about it," the president explained. "We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people. Some of them are so bad, we don't even trust [their home] countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back. So we're going to send them out to Guantanamo."
The report said immigrant "rights" organizations and Democrats are expected to fight the plan.
"Guantanamo could regain a place in American foreign policy and its public consciousness. Its inmate population dwindled to just 15 people in recent years and now could swell by tens of thousands," the report said.
Trump already has been shipping illegals who are arrested back to their home countries, and won a huge victory just days ago when Colombian officials agreed to his terms after complaining that its citizens weren't being treated respectfully.
Multiple details of the plan haven't been released yet.
Trump's actual order said the detention center should be prepared to handle "full capacity."
"This memorandum is issued in order to halt the border invasion, dismantle criminal cartels, and restore national sovereignty," Trump wrote.
