Guantanamo Bay, a U.S. base in Cuba since 1898, may soon house thousands of detained migrants, following a proposal by the Trump administration.

Human rights groups have accused U.S. authorities of using Guantánamo Bay for decades to detain migrants fleeing Haiti, Cuba and other Caribbean nations.

Donald Trump says he will use a detention center at Guantánamo Bay to hold tens of thousands of criminal immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
