usa - President Trump continues to sign controversial executive orders, allowing detention of illegal migrants at Guantanamo and deportation of foreign students critical of Israel.
President Trump's Controversial Executive Orders
President Trump has signed two new executive orders, one allowing the detention of illegal migrants at Guantanamo Bay and the other enabling the deportation of foreign university students who are critical of Israel back to their home countries.
Detention at Guantanamo Bay
President Trump has ordered the preparation of a facility at Guantanamo Bay to hold 30,000 'criminal migrants' who are considered too dangerous to be trusted in other countries. This decision has sparked strong reactions, with Cuba's President Díaz-Canel condemning it as 'barbaric' and the UN spokesperson criticizing the move.
Deportation of Students
The second executive order targets foreign students who participate in pro-Palestine demonstrations, allowing authorities to prepare reports on students engaged in anti-Semitic activities and potentially deport them if deemed necessary.
Response to Syria Withdrawal Rumors
President Trump clarified that he did not say the US would withdraw troops from Syria but emphasized that the US has no business in Syria's conflicts and will make a decision regarding the situation.
