Donald Trump says he is ordering the opening of a detention centre at Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30,000 migrants who are living illegally in the US.
"Today I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay," Mr Trump said at the White House. 
The US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, already houses a migrant facility — separate from the high-security US prison for foreign terrorism suspects — that has been used on occasion for decades, including to house Haitians and Cubans picked up at sea.
Queer people react to Trump's gender order

Queer people who live and work in the United States are concerned about the executive order on gender that Donald Trump signed in his first week as US president.
But a move to house tens of thousands of migrants at the base would again widen the Pentagon's role in Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration.
The US president made the announcement on Wednesday directly before signing his first piece of legislation, which orders the detention and potential deportation of people in the US illegally who have been accused of theft and violent crimes before being convicted.
"We're going to send them out to Guantanamo," the president said, but did not elaborate.
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel described the plan as "an act of brutality" in a statement on Wednesday.
"In an act of brutality, the new US government announces imprisonment at the Guantanamo Naval Base, located in illegally occupied Cuban territory," the president said on X, adding the migrants would be held near facilities he said the US had used for "torture and illegal detention".
The US detention facility was set up in 2002 by then-president George W. Bush to detain foreign militant suspects following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
There are 15 detainees left in the prison.

The facility for migrants is separate from the detention centre on the base.
On Tuesday, the US military said that it would allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain migrants at Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado.
The decision comes on top of US military deportation flights of migrants out of the country and the deployment of just over 1,600 active-duty troops to the US border with Mexico following Trump's emergency declaration on immigration last week.
