WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed the Laken Riley Act into law, giving federal authorities broader power to deport immigrants in the U.S. illegally who have been accused of crimes. He also announced at the ceremony that his administration planned to send the “worst criminal aliens” to a detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The bipartisan act, the first piece of legislation approved during Trump’s second term, was named for Riley, a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student who was slain last year by a Venezuelan man in the U.S. illegally.
“She was a light of warmth and kindness,” Trump said during a ceremony that included Riley’s parents and sister. “It’s a tremendous tribute to your daughter what’s taking place today, that’s all I can say. It’s so sad we have to be doing it.”
Trump has promised to drastically increase deportations, but he also said at the signing that some of the people being sent back to their home countries couldn’t be counted on to stay there.
“Some of them are so bad that we don’t even trust the countries to hold them because we don’t want them coming back, so we’re gonna send ’em out to Guantanamo,” Trump said. He said that he’d direct federal officials to get facilities in Cuba ready to receive migrant criminals.
“We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal aliens threatening the American people,” the president said.
The White House announced a short time later that Trump had signed a presidential memorandum on Guantanamo.
The move immediately doubles U.S. detention lockup capacities, Trump said at the signing ceremony, noting that Guantanamo, is “a tough place to get out of.”
In subsequent comments to reporters outside the White House, new Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said...

A C130 out of Miami with the rear cargo door open.....
Buy Devil’s Island and reopen it.
GITMO should be used to get Swiss bank account numbers and passwords.
Drain the Swamp - ‘s bank accounts!
Dow-the book was even better.
C-17 would hold more and has a bigger rear door. Then there’s the C-5.
The word “migrants” is superfluous.
How many will now self deport rather than risk being sent to Cuba? As always,, President Trump is ahead of the game.
If Trump can pull that off, I suspect that after one news report on it in El Espano language television, the rest of the Illegal felons would quickly pack up and skedaddle back home.
A lot larger than I though. We could fit as many felons as necessary there, perhaps with a few extra structures (or tents).
Local jails are patchwork. Gitmo is fed. 30k of them will take care of a big part of the problem.
I hear ya. But we don’t want to be ostentatious with these people (wink)
Good one, Mr President.
send them ti=o Greenland, USA

Why don't we remove the beds before we send them there?
Laken Riley’s dad read from Laken’s diary at her killer’s trial. This is what she had written in one of her last entries - - -
“To my future husband: I want you to know that I’m thinking about you. I’m working every day to become the best wife I can be – working through my current relationships to best prepare me for ours and our kids one day,” Riley’s stepfather, John Phillips, told the court while delivering his victim impact statement. “I’m focusing on God and what He defines as a faithful Christian life, and so that I can best embody those characteristics. I pray that you know that is with my full faith and trust in God that I know this relationship has been handcrafted by him. I pray that we continue to glorify the Lord, prioritize him in every aspect of our lives, and raise our future family, and be God fearing Christians, as well, and pray God is the center of our relationship as it is a gift from him. I thank him for you before I even know you. We can’t wait to love you in the best way I know how for the rest of our lives. I pray you know and feel the importance of my love and hopes for our relationship, no matter what challenges we face, I pray that our trust in God and love for one another overrules the obstacle. May our relationship last forever. Your future wife, Laken.”
The proper remedy would be to duct-tape the animal to a lawn chair in a soundproofed room equipped with an adequate number of Louisville Sluggers and give her family and friends five minutes alone with him.
