Less than three weeks into his second term, President Donald Trump has already taken a variety of steps toward achieving his campaign promise of cracking down on illegal immigration:

Democrats allege that Trump is moving at a “crazy” pace, but the real craziness was 4 years of open borders, mass illegal immigration, backdoor censorship, rampant inflation, & foreign conflicts. We require a fast and furious pace to rectify that. pic.twitter.com/MSjsCHQKa6

One of the most notable actions the president has taken on the matter thus far involves opening up space at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility for up to 30,000 criminal migrants.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who has also been busy implementing Trump’s immigration agenda since being confirmed to the role, is planning to visit the unit on Friday as the first detainees began arriving.

According to Breitbart:

A DHS official confirmed to the Miami Herald that Noem would be visiting the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base on Friday. The outlet noted that “currently, the base houses a center where migrants intercepted at sea and later declared as refugees await to be accepted in third countries.”

Breitbart News’s Neil Munro previously reported that during the signing of the Laken Riley Act, Trump revealed that he was signing an Executive Order directing the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to start “preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility.”

Noem signaled support for the effort in a social media post earlier this week:

Here are some other highlights from her first few days on the job:

The U.S. Defense Department marked the first flight of migrants to Guantanamo Bay in a statement on Wednesday:

According to the Department of Homeland Security, all 10 of those illegal aliens are part of the transnational criminal organization “Tren de Aragua.” Last month, the White House designated that group as a foreign terrorist organization.

“Their campaigns of violence and terror in the United States and internationally are extraordinarily violent, vicious and similarly threaten the stability of the international order in the Western Hemisphere,” the White House executive order reads.

At Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, the 10 high-threat illegal aliens who arrived today are being housed in vacant detention facilities. They are not being held alongside war on terror detainees who also reside at the installation.

Trump first announced the plan late last month, as Reuters reported at the time:

Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said later on Wednesday that the administration would expand the already existing facility and that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency would run it.

“Today I’m also signing an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000 person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay,” Trump said at the White House.

He said the facility would be used to “detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people. Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the countries to hold them because we don’t want them coming back, so we’re going to send them out to Guantanamo. This will double our capacity immediately, right? And, tough.”

Here’s a clip of his statement:
