On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to seek this Re -Gantanamo Bay displayAn American prison in Cuba, at a detention center for unauthorized immigrants.

About 11 million migrants live in the United States, where the total population is 341 million, according to Pew Research Center estimates.

Discussions on immigration have dominated American policy in recent years and formed an important part of the recent presidential election campaign. Trump promised to implement “the largest deportation in American history.”

However, so far, the facility has been used to accommodate only those who describe the United States as “illegal fighters” – not unconventional immigrants.

Here’s more about Trump’s plans for the Gwenamo Gulf, a notorious camp where US military officials were previously accused of using torture tactics against prisoners:

What did Trump say about the Gulf of Guantanamo?

On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order entitled “,”Expanding the Immigrant Operations Center In Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to the full capacity. “

This directs US defense and internal security secretaries to expand the Gulf of Guantanamo “to the full ability to provide additional detention space for the high priority foreigners in the United States.”

Trump said that 30,000 beds will be available to house the “worst” immigrants, which means those who have criminal records, saying that his administration “did not trust” their original countries.

In addition, it explains: “This memorandum is issued to stop the conquest of the borders, dismantle criminal cartals, and restore national sovereignty.”

Trump announced this procedure while signing the first legislation from his second presidential term, Laken Riley, which also seeks to expel unauthorized immigrants.

He said: “Today’s signature brings us one step to eliminate the scourge of the crime of migrants in our societies once and forever.”

This is one of the many cases in which Trump linked the unauthorized migrants in the United States. However, a 2023 studies Economists at American universities analyzed prison rates and census data from 1870 to 2020 and found that immigrants were less likely to imprison people born in the United States.

What is the work of Riley Lake?

Laken Riley is a draft law approved by the Republican Conference and Tired 2 and was signed in the law on Wednesday by Trump, which is also a Republican.

The draft law requires the Ministry of Internal Security to “detention some non -American citizens (foreigners under Federal Law) who were arrested on charges of robbery, theft, theft or theft.”

This law was named after a 22 -year -old nursing student who was killed on the University of Georgia’s campus in February. An undocumented immigrant was convicted of Venezuela, Jose Antonio Ebara, by killing her.

Ibara has already been arrested to steal shopping. He waived his right to try the jury, was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment without the conditional release in November.

Some Democrats opposed legislation.

“In this bill, if the person is accused of as much as a crime, if someone wants to direct his finger and accuse someone of theft, he will be rounded and put them in a private detention camp and send him to deport without a day in court, the Associated Press quoted the New York representative Alexandria Okasio Cortez.

However, some Democrats voted in favor of the bill – most of them representatives of the battlefield where Democrats or Republicans can win the elections.

In the House of Representatives, the draft law was approved 263-156 with the support of 46 democraticism. In the Senate, the draft law was issued 64-35 with 12 democratic vote in favor. Democrats who agreed to the bill were the states of Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arizona, New Hampsheer, Georgia, Michigan and Virginia.

“Anyone who commits a crime must bear. That is why I voted to pass the Laken Law, Books on x On January 20.

Where is Guantanamo Bay located?

The detention center is located on the base of Guantanamo marine bay on the eastern end of Cuba. It is about 800 km (500 miles) southeast of Florida.

What is the history of the detention center?

In November 2001, following the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York City and Washington, DC, then President George W. Bush signed a military matter allowing the United States to detain foreign citizens Without the accusation indefinitely As part of the United States, “War on terrorism”.

The prison that they held was inside the Guantanamo base. He – she Opened on January 11, 2002And the first 20 prisoners – most of them from Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Yemen, Kuwait and the United Kingdom – were brought.

Over the past two decades, 780 teenage men and children have been held (at least 15 prisoners who have been classified as “events”) there, many without charge.

Bush said his Guantanamo scheme would help end terrorism, and he did so specifically. “The Trump scheme would also make the United States less safe, not more.

In December 2002, then Minister of Defense, the United States Donald Rumsfeld Greenlit is a series of interrogation techniques in prison, including sensory deprivation, isolation, stress situations and the use of dogs to “urge stress”.

In 2009, former Democratic President Barack Obama signed an executive order to close the prison. However, it remained open as Obama faced opposition from the two parties over security concerns, and Congress passed a law that blocks the closure. Obama’s order was eventually reflected in an executive order that Trump signed in 2018 during his first term. Democratic President Joe Biden has restarted the Obama administration’s attempt to close the prison, but the prison is still open after the Congress again was transferred to the transfer of prisoners.

As of January 6, 15 prisoners remained in Guantanamo Bay after most people were in prison AbsoluteAfter accusing him of any crime, and returned to its countries of origin or the third countries over the years.

According to the 2023 report issued by Amnesty International for the Rights Group, only seven inmates were condemned in Guantanamo for terrorist crimes, including five as a result of the pre -trial agreements under them guilty in exchange for the possibility of release the base.

In the same report, Amnesty said: “The facilities in Guantanamo have become symbolic in the total human rights violations and torture committed by the US government in the name of anti -terrorism.”

The amnesty referred to another report from 2023 by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and basic freedoms with the confrontation of terrorism, which, as, said, “Details of 21 years of detention indefinitely for 780 Muslim men and children, and human rights that are not considered nor Currently violations against them. “

Is Trump’s plan to hold immigrants who are not documented in Guantanamo?

Stafford Smith said Trump “has the raw power to move people there, just as President Bush did with the detainees in January 2002.”

He pointed out that the difference now is that unlike the prisoners who were transferred from foreign countries to the Gulf of Guantanamo, unauthorized immigrants from the United States will be transferred to prison.

This means “they will have all legal rights [US] He said that the population there, including the entire constitution and the right to an appropriate court.

“So they will have the same rights as any refugee – more, in fact, as Trump has already said he could not send them home, which means that there will be a strong situation that cannot be considered indefinitely,” said Staveford Smith. . He explained that the refugee will be allowed to make family visits, unlike the prisoners currently being held in Guantanamo.

Only 500 cells and some other spaces for people in prison, but even if Trump is detained 30,000 people, will be a very small percentage of the total number of migrants who promised to deport, This makes his work “completely illogical in the big plan.”

Will there be a legal procedure to stop this?

Stafford Smith expected that taking legal measures to stop Trump’s latest action, and because prisoners will have legal rights, “it will be easier for us as lawyers” compared to previous legal issues against the Guantanamo prisoner system.

He referred to an example of a case filed by the Center for Constitutional Rights, a group of supporting, in 2002 on behalf of four men held in Guantanamo Bay. The case against prison has arisen indefinitely to its customers without a legal hearing. In June 2004, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the detainees. By that time, two men were already released. The other two were released after the ruling.

Stafford Smith considered Trump’s new act, “The popular Charid, which aims to show the American people to do something.”
