00:00Inflation and immigration were the top campaign issues in the 2024 U.S. presidential race.

00:05As Donald Trump enters his fourth week in office,

00:09mass deportations are picking up and hundreds are also being moved to Gitmo or Guantanamo Bay.

00:14VOA's Aline Barrios wraps up this story in her report.

00:20On his first day in office, U.S. President Donald Trump declared illegal immigration a

00:26national emergency. He promised to follow up on a key campaign promise

00:31and deport millions of undocumented immigrants.

00:34Lawyers say migrants facing deportation are entitled to due process.

00:39You are issued a charging document which begins a proceeding against you when you can apply for

00:45asylum or otherwise defend your right to be in the United States. At the end of that process

00:52of applying for immigration relief, of going to immigration court and seeing an immigration judge,

00:59if you don't win at the end of that process, then you are issued a deportation order.

01:05Flem says deportation can happen quickly or it can take a long time.

01:10It's possible that somebody is deported after months or years of fighting their case. It's

01:16also possible that somebody is deported after hours or days of seeking entry to the United

01:22States or having lived here for many years within hours or days of being taken into custody under

01:28Trump's latest policy. Since January 21st, federal authorities have arrested over 8,200 people

01:36and requested help from other enforcement agencies. The administration has also expanded

01:42the use of fast-track deportation, which allows immigration officers to remove undocumented

01:48migrants without a court hearing. We got to do more and that's what we're looking at now. We're

01:53looking at ways to create more efficiencies to do more. The administration is using a military

01:59base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to detain certain undocumented migrants. That's going to be another

02:05place we have up to 30,000 beds and President Trump made a commitment that the worst of the

02:10worst will go to Guantanamo. But legal challenges have already begun. A federal judge in New Mexico

02:15recently blocked the transfer of three Venezuelan immigrants to Guantanamo and advocates have sued

02:22the Trump administration for holding detainees at Guantanamo without access to lawyers or family.

02:29This is the first time in U.S. history that the U.S. government has detained people on U.S.

02:36soil and transported them to Guantanamo. A DHS official told VOA that Guantanamo Bay

02:42is currently holding individuals with final deportation orders, including violent criminals.

02:49While legal challenges are ongoing, the administration continues to enforce

02:54deportation measures. Aline Ibarra's VOA News, Washington.
