“Some of them are so bad, we don't even trust their home countries to hold them. Because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them to Guantanamo,” he said.
“This will double our capacity immediately. It's a tough place to get out of. Today's signing brings us one step closer to eradicating the scourge of migrant crime in our communities once and for all,” he added.
With this, Trump has ramped up efforts to remove illegal immigrants from the country, a major poll promise.
He said the memorandum was issued to halt the border invasion, dismantle criminal cartels, and restore national sovereignty.
