President Donald Trump has begun his second administration with a series of controversial moves and decisions.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum directing the federal government to prepare the US Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to house tens of thousands of migrants.
The president has instructed officials to “begin preparing” a 30,000-person “migrant facility” at Guantánamo Bay. The list of concerns is not short.
Trump said earlier Wednesday that the U.S. has "30,000 beds in Guantánamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people."
On May 3, 2019, a Miami Air flight slid into St. Johns River at NAS Jacksonville. 22 passengers suffered minor injuries and three pets on board died.
The president says up to 30,000 criminal migrants deported from the United States could be housed at the facility in Cuba, but it wasn't immediately clear how the plan would be implemented.
The administration’s border czar, Tom Homan, said U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement would run the facility in Cuba and that the “the worst of the worst" could go to Guantanamo.
Trump made the announcement before he signed the Laken Riley Act into law as his administration's first piece of legislation.
President Trump ordered officials to create a 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay for "the worst criminal illegal aliens."
The president said the facility at the U.S. naval base could house as many as 30,000 people
President Trump is offering around two million federal workers to resign and be paid through September. Some Democratic lawmakers are pushing back against the buyouts, claiming they aren't legal. CBS News Digital politics reporter Kathryn Watson joins "America Decides" to break down the move.
