The U.S. Naval Station in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, was recently emptied of illegal immigrants, but it will soon be brimming with new arrivals as President Donald Trump gets ready to invoke wartime powers to speed up deportations of dangerous aliens, Just the News has learned.
A source familiar with the administration's plans told Just the News that Trump is planning to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as early as Friday in an effort to combat the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and other criminal aliens and to use Guantánamo Bay to detain them. The source spoke only on condition of anonymity because the source wasn't authorized to talk to the news media.
