'Send Them to Gitmo': Trump Readies INFAMOUS Prison For 9,000 Detainees, Including Ukrainians [Video]

'Send Them to Gitmo': Trump Readies INFAMOUS Prison For 9,000 Detainees, Including Ukrainians

Trump reportedly plans to send undocumented migrants—including Ukrainian war refugees—to Guantanamo Bay, a military facility infamous for holding terror suspects. The Biden-era program that offered sanctuary to Ukrainians fleeing war may be rolled back, with deportation or detention now on the table. Medical screenings for 9,000 detainees are underway ahead of transfers to Cuba. The move is part of Trump's broader immigration crackdown—targeting 3,000 arrests a day—and could revoke protections for 240,000 Ukrainians. The use of Guantanamo has sparked outrage due to its controversial history and lack of foreign government notification. #Trump #Guantanamo #ImmigrationPolicy #UkrainianRefugees #MigrantCrisis #Deportation #BidenProgram #RefugeeRights #GuantanamoBay #HumanRights #ImmigrationNews #UndocumentedMigrants #USPolitics #ControversialPolicy #CubaDetention #BreakingNews #ICERaids #Trump2024 #UkraineWar #RefugeeCrisis #TrumpPlan #AsylumSeekers #GuantanamoReturn #DetentionCenter #MigrantRights #TortureHistory #GlobalReactions #TrumpVsImmigrants #ImmigrationCrackdown #RefugeesUnderThreat #USBorderPolic Also Read To Secure Rare Earth Minerals...: US Prez Donald Trump Announces 55% Tariff Hike On Chinese Goods :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/to-secure-rare-earth-minerals-us-prez-donald-trump-announces-55-tariff-hike-on-chinese-goods-4178549.html?ref=DMDesc Went Too Far: Elon Musk Expresses 'Regrets' Over Posts On US President Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/went-too-far-elon-musk-expresses-regrets-over-posts-on-us-president-donald-trump-4178235.html?ref=DMDesc US Deploys 700 Marines To Los Angeles As Immigration Protests Intensify Against Trump's Diktat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-deploys-700-marines-to-los-angeles-as-immigration-protests-intensify-against-trumps-diktat-4176947.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~
