Donald Trump has signed an executive order to open a migrant detention centre at Guantanamo Bay.
Speaking before making the act official, Mr Trump said that thousands of migrants who cannot be deported to their home countries will be held at the complex, on the island of Cuba.
“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,” he said.

“Most other people don’t even know. We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo so that the worst illegal offender will threaten other American people.
“Some of them are so bad that we don’t even accept as true with countries to sustain them, because we don’t need them to come back. “
This is then that the debatable selection of Mr. Trump for the Secretary of Health, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , faced an audience committee where he provided for his opinions, adding vaccines and abortion.
Guantanamo Bay created in 2002 through President George W. Bush at that time to keep the detainees after September 11 and the war opposed terrorism.
Only 15 prisoners, including Ramzi Bin Al Shibh, accused of being a 9/11 co-conspirator at the detention center.
At its peak, some 680 people, the maximum suspicious of terrorism and “illegal enemy fighters,” were carried out in the American race in Cuba.
The facility has been criticised by human rights groups and legal campaigners over potential breaches of international laws and conditions.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel deemed the decision as “an act of brutality” in a message on his X account, and he described the base as one “located in illegally occupied Cuba territory”.
Reacting to Mr. Trump’s announcement, former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who served under Trump’s past management, said, “Also known as a concentration camp.
“However, there is no dissent. There is no courageous political leader willing to do this. “

RFK Jr faces Senate hearing
Earlier on Wednesday, Mr Kennedy – the president’s pick to be health secretary – faced a grilling over his views on vaccines, abortion and Medicaid at a Senate confirmation hearing.
Appearing at the Capitol, Democratic senators raised some of the 71-year-old’s previous remarks comparing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to Nazi death camps, linking school shootings to antidepressants, and his claim that “no vaccine is safe and effective”.
One senator, Sheldon Whitehouse, told Mr Kennedy “frankly, you frighten people” when discussing an outbreak of measles in Rhode Island – its first since 2013.

The candidate said that “he did not have a broad proposal to dismantle” Medicaid, a health program financed by state and federal taxpayers, and eliminated the statements against the vaccination by saying that their young people were vaccinated.
Mr Kennedy – the son of Robert F Kennedy and nephew of former US president John F Kennedy – was also questioned on his previous support for abortion and was shown statements as recent as from when he was running for president as an independent.
Now he agreed with the president that “each abortion is a tragedy. “
Memorandum on the cancellation of the suspension of federal financing
It occurs after MR. Trump canceled an order to freeze the expense for federal subsidies, less than two days after provoking demanding legal situations in the United States.
Monday’s order caused uncertainty about a monetary life line for states, and organizations that depend on thousands of dollars of Washington.
However, the White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, told the American Sky NBC partners that the frost itself had not been eliminated and that it is only a cancellation of the note he ordered.
