US President Donald Trump today signed an executive order indicating the Defense Department to allocate 30 thousand beds in the US naval base in Guantanamo to receive migrants deported from US continental territory.
The announcement is part of the massive deportation plan of the new US administration, as promised during the electoral campaign of Donald Trump.
The prison camp at Guantanamo naval base was set up in 2002, by the US President George W. Bush to detain alleged September 11 attacker. At present there are 15 detainees from that time at the prison.
