Donald Trump is set to send thousands more illegal migrants to the infamous terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay starting this week in an acceleration of his mass deportation plan.

In February, Trump deployed members of the Armed Forces to expand the capacity of a detention facility at the Cuba base.

This week, at least 9,000 people are being identified for a potential transfer to the prison as early as Wednesday, Politico reported, including Brits and other Europeans.

Currently, around 500 migrants have been held at the jail known as 'Gitmo' for short stints in the past few months.

These holds would also be temporary, as it would be a pit stop on the way to being deported to the country they came from.
