President Donald Trump ordered construction of a deportee detention camp with room for 30,000 migrants on the U.S. naval base in Cuba.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is directing the opening of a detention center at Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30,000 immigrants who are living illegally in the United States.
