Trump enviará a los "peores criminales" migrantes a Bahía de Guantánamo

By Ninian Carter

January 31, 2025 - El gobierno de Trump expandirá el Centro de Operaciones Migratorias en
Guantánamo (GMOC) en Bahía de Guantánamo, Cuba, para contener
a 30.000 de los “peores criminales extranjeros ilegales”.

U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security to construct a detention facility at Guantanamo Bay for up to 30,000 migrants.

The U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay (NSGB) in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, already houses a migrant facility called Guantanamo Migrant Operations Center (GMOC), which runs separately from the high-security U.S. prison for foreign terrorism suspects known as Camp Delta.

Tom Homan, Director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, says the Trump administration will expand GMOC and that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency will run it.

Trump says the facility will be used to “detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people”.

The detention facility at Guantanamo Bay was initiated by U.S. President George W. Bush in 2002 to detain suspected foreign militants following the 9/11 attacks that, among other things, destroyed the World Trade Center and neighbouring buildings in New York.

Guantanamo Bay has long been condemned by human rights groups due to unsanitary conditions, indefinite detentions and harsh interrogation methods they say amount to torture.
