The Pentagon had some details to present his new mandate from President Donald Trump on Thursday. Naval laying the groundwork Gwantanamo BayCuba, where 9/11 suspects of 9/11 terrorism have been imprisoned for more than two decades.
Trump was surprised to sign a bill on Wednesday, where he announced that “we have 30,000 beds in Gwantanamo, detaining the worst criminal aliens threatening American people.”
Independent reports say that currently there is a fraction of the capacity in this feature, which costs logistics and large -scale detention facilities a challenge. It was also not clear what criteria the administration would use, to determine which migrants will flow and have legal rights held in Gwantanamo, where suspects in 2001 attacks on a separate site Has worked from – although on a separate site base.

Trump said, “Some of them are so bad that we do not trust countries to catch them, because we do not want to come back to them. So we are going to send them to Gwantanamo.”
Later that day followed an executive order, but it only directed both Pentagon and Homeland Security Department to “take all appropriate action to expand the migrant operating center” Naval station guantanamo bay The United States exists illegally in the United States at full capacity to provide additional detention space for high priority criminal aliens. ,
This order was the latest in the promise that Trump has made, the biggest migrant will be exile effort us historyIt is as follows Deployment Of 1,600 active-duty soldiers On the Mexico border during its first week in the office and Air force Exile flights – Instead of civil flights used in the past – to transfer migrants to their original countries.
During the entire Wednesday, the two officers will not comment on the Gwantanamo order in the Defense Secretary and Navy’s office, often with the clarification that they had learned about it as public at the same time and working to get more information. Were.
In pre-recorded Video uploaded on social media on ThursdayThe Pentagon was “leaning forward to support the President’s instructions that the Defense Secretary PT Hegaseth had very little to connect beyond that.”
“We are working in real time,” he said.
Military.com also reached the US Southern Command, which is a Combatant Command, which has been assigned with the supervision of the mission, with a list of basic questions at the migrant operating center, but did not get timely reply to publication.
A non -profit organization said in a report on this facility that it began operating as a place to keep Cuba and Haitian refugees under the Reagan administration, which were stopped at the sea. Many organizations and press reports say that the functions have remained until the present day, but it is established only to catch more than a hundred people – not tens of thousands.
Last year, New York Times reported that facility Only 37 migrants kept from 2020 to 2023 And, “In the last decade, the number of families has been in single digits.”
A Swiss-based refugee non-profit Estimate the capacity of the center At 130, the Jio Group helped run the center, citing the 2009 documents of the private jail company.
International Refugee Assistance Project, or IRAP’s 2024 report states that migrants ended there “Priest -like conditions are detained indefinitely Without access to the outside world and trapped in a punitive system “run by the Department of Homeland Security,” no less with “no transparency or accountability”.
The group stated that “on the United States soil, comprehensive laws, procedures, and rules at the migrant center in Gwantanamo Bay” review and review the decisions of asylum and asylum, but “how to make refuge and refugee decisions or what There is no known guidance about this, the standards are being implemented “and” there is no access to lawyers, appeal procedures, or fixed process. “
In 1993, the Supreme Court ruled that the 1980 refugee act, which prevents America from forcibly returning refugees, who feel threatened or persecuted in their domestic countries, Not implemented outside America’s territory – Like Gwantanamo Bay.
US Citizen Liberty Union, with IRAP, Case filed against government in 2024 To fail to disclose the records about the contradiction and prevention of refugees on the site.
It was also not clear whether Guantanamo Bay is the only military installation to tap to tap for housing.
On Tuesday, CBS told He Bakle space force base The US immigration and customs enforcement in Colorado, or being used by ice, was being used by the migrants and procedure unlikely within the United States.
However, when the Military.com arrived at the Northern Command of America, a spokesperson said Bakle is “no longer identified as an installation support base” and the ice directed another question.
The Ice did not immediately return the request for comment.
The order to expand Gwantanamo as a migrant preventive facility is also far from Trump who attracted questions and silence from the Pentagon.
Late Monday evening, Trump fulfills a promise And Signed an executive order He said that he would restore the soldiers who were discharged with the Kovid -19 vaccine mandate Salary,
Neither the order nor the Pentagon officials said whether, if any, the conditions will be implemented on that promise or how to go to claim it. Instead, a statement was issued, stating that the Pentagon “would fully execute and implement all the instructions mentioned in the executive orders issued by the President” and “Provide the status update as we are capable.”
The same night, Trump too Transgender people banned from serving people in armyBut the order also left most of the details to find out the Pentagon and newly married Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, including what will happen to Trans soldiers, who are already serving, the top questions.
Again, the only answer from Pentagon was attributed to a nameless defense officer, who said “he would fully execute and implement all the instructions mentioned in the executive orders issued by the President.”
