US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order instructing his officials to prepare a facility to house 30,000 immigrants at Guantanamo Bay. This facility in Cuba has a notorious past where prisoners accused of terrorism-related offences have been detained after 9/11.

The Guantanamo Bay detention camp, often shrouded in secrecy, is a sprawling facility divided into multiple compounds, each with varying levels of security and accommodation.

Defense officials are trying to figure out how to hold thousands of people on an aging military base with minimal staff.
