AI Summary:
President Donald Trump has announced plans to transform the United States detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, into a holding centre for undocumented immigrants. The surprise announcement came as the Republican president signed his first major piece of legislation, the Laken Riley Act. Trump had campaigned for a second term on the promise of leading a “mass deportation” campaign. Guantanamo Bay detention centre opened in 2002 as a holding facility for suspects swept up in the US’s so-called “war on terror” Earlier this month, the facility marked its 23rd anniversary with a diminishing number of detainees imprisoned in its wall. Trump signed an executive order to keep the facility open for the foreseeable future. Republican leader has long conflated immigration with criminality. Studies have shown that undocumented people commit crimes at a significantly lower rate than US-born citizens. His campaign for re-election hinged on the premise that the US needed to fend off a migrant invasion.
