The president wants to send 30,000 immigrants in the country illegally to the Cuban naval base infamous for its role during the War on Terror. How will he do it?

Guantanamo Bay, a U.S. base in Cuba since 1898, may soon house thousands of detained migrants, following a proposal by the Trump administration.

President Trump has said the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo Bay would house what he called the "worst" migrants. Still, according to both internal government documents and U.S. officials, the administration is also sending nonviolent detainees who do not have serious criminal records or in some cases any criminal records at all.

Dozens of Venezuelan migrants sent by the Trump administration to the U.S. military base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, are being guarded by troops rather than civilian immigration officers, according to people familiar with the operation.
