Migrants Nabbed in Trump’s Raids Have Been Released Back Into U.S. Already
Story by Amethyst Martinez • 11h
Despite the president’s campaign promises to carry out the “largest deportation operation in American history,” some migrants rounded up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are currently being released back into the country due to space constraints.
Migrants were freed from Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention and put on a monitoring program, according to NBC News, in spite of Donald Trump’s push for more arrests and deportations since his swearing-in.
Crucially, ICE detention facilities are lacking enough space to carry out a program of the scale Trump envisions.
But the Trump administration has plans in the works to ramp up detention capabilities and increase the number of deportations it can carry out. Just last week, the president announced a plan to turn Guantanamo Bay Detention Center into a migrant holding facility with up to 30,000 beds.
“Most people don’t even know that we have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people,” added Trump.
