Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel condemned United States President Donald Trump's announcement stating the "worst" illegal immigrants will be detained in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, calling it an "act of brutality."

In a post on X, Diaz-Canel called the imprisonment of thousands of migrants near "well-known torture and illegal detention prisons" in what he described as "illegally occupied Cuban territory" an "act of brutality." Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez stated in a separate post that the US decision to imprison illegal immigrants in Guantanamo demonstrates "contempt for the human condition and International Law."

Trump officially signed a memorandum calling for the expansion of the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay. The order directed Homeland Security and the Department of Defense to expand the center "to full capacity to provide additional detention space for high-priority criminal aliens unlawfully present in the United States, and to address attendant immigration enforcement needs" identified by the two agencies.
