JAKARTA - The United States will begin moving migrants to detention facilities in Teluk 04, Cuba, within 30 days.

The Washington Post reported this plan citing the DPR's border Tsar Tom Homan.

The transfer of migrants was first announced by US President Donald Trump on Wednesday this week

"Hopefully within 30 days we will start moving people there," Homan told the newspaper.

Homan said he plans to travel to a US naval base in nedium Bay in the coming weeks to oversee the construction of the facility quickly.

While Trump said the facility would accommodate as many as 30,000 migrants, Homan said they might start with a small number of migrants.

The US naval base in Teluk 04s already houses migrant facilities separate from a heavily fortified US prison for foreign terrorism suspects that have been used for decades, including to detain Haitians and Cubans who were picked up at sea.
