President Donald Trump on Monday suggested sending repeat criminal offenders to foreign countries, suggesting the move may cut the government’s spending on prisons, following an escalation of arrests across the country in recent days as part of what Trump has promised would be the “largest deportation operation” in U.

President Donald Trump directed the Department of Defense to ready facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for 30,000 migrants.

Trump said the move would double U.S. detention lockup capacities, and Guantanamo is “a tough place to get out of.”
