Hey there! Did you hear about what’s happening in the United States? 🇺🇸 President Donald Trump has announced that he wants to prepare a special place at Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30,000 migrants!
What’s Guantanamo Bay? It’s a U.S. naval base located in Cuba. 🏝️ Usually, it’s known for being a place where some very dangerous people have been kept. But now, there’s a separate area there that’s been used before to hold migrants—people who are moving from one country to another.
Why is this happening?
President Trump says he wants this facility to hold migrants who are considered the worst criminals. He mentioned that some of these people are so dangerous that the U.S. doesn’t trust other countries to keep them, so they want to keep them at Guantanamo Bay. 😮
What are others saying?
Some people think this is a good idea to keep everyone safe, while others are worried. Groups that help refugees say that the facilities at Guantanamo Bay aren’t nice places to stay. They mention things like not-so-clean conditions and not enough services for kids. 🛑
Even the President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel, called this plan “an act of brutality.” 😔
What’s next?
The U.S. government is working on how to make this happen, including figuring out how much it will cost. 💰 Some military bases in the U.S. are also being used to hold migrants.
Why should we care?
It’s important to know what’s happening around the world, especially when it comes to how countries treat people who are moving from one place to another. Migration is a big topic, and it affects many families and children just like you! 🌍👨👩👧👦
