MIAMI, FL- It didn’t take long. The moment President Donald Trump announced the new detention center at Guantanamo Bay for the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens, the media went into full meltdown mode. “Concentration camp,” “human rights crisis,” “mass incarceration”—you name it, they’re already running with it.

But let’s take a breath and talk about reality.

This isn’t about rounding up random people and throwing them into a cell at Guantanamo. This is about removing the most violent, ruthless, and dangerous criminals who have infiltrated our country—cartel members, gang assassins, human traffickers—the absolute worst of the worst. The kind of people who don’t just commit crimes but terrorize entire communities.

The Reality the Media Won’t Report

Trump isn’t targeting immigrants. He’s targeting criminal enterprises—Tren de Aragua, Sinaloa Cartel, MS-13—groups that behead people, assassinate families, smuggle fentanyl, and run human trafficking networks. These aren’t the hardworking immigrants looking for a better life. These are violent criminals who have brought chaos into our communities.

But the media? They’ll tell you Trump is building a gulag, because God forbid we enforce the law.

The Laken Riley Act: A Necessary Step Toward Justice

Let’s not forget why this policy is happening. In November, Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan linked to Tren de Aragua, was convicted of brutally murdering Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was simply out for a jog. A young woman who had her entire life ahead of her—stolen, because our immigration system failed to keep a dangerous criminal out of the country.

The Laken Riley Act, which Trump signed as part of this announcement, ensures that migrants accused of theft and violent crimes are detained, not released back onto the streets. In other words: no more soft-on-crime nonsense. No more “catch and release.” No more second chances for people who should have never been in this country to begin with.

Yet, watch how the media frames it: “Trump detains immigrants.” No mention of the criminals, the gangs, or the innocent Americans who have been victimized. Just the same tired narrative that conveniently ignores the real issue.

How Will This Sit with Miami’s Cuban-American Community?

Now, I know some people are going to say, ‘How will Cubans feel about Guantanamo being used this way?’ And look, I get it—Guantanamo has always been a controversial symbol. But the truth is, Cuban-Americans overwhelmingly support strong immigration enforcement. Why? Because we came here legally. We followed the process. We built lives and businesses in this country the right way.

We also know firsthand what happens when criminal elements are left unchecked. Many of us saw it in Cuba under Castro. We’ve seen what happens in Venezuela under Maduro. Miami is a city built by people who escaped dictatorships, political persecution, and economic collapse, and we know law and order matters.

Trump’s decision to send the worst criminal illegal aliens to Guantanamo isn’t about punishing immigrants—it’s about protecting Americans. And if you ask most Cuban-Americans, Venezuelans, and legal immigrants in Miami, they’ll tell you: we don’t want these criminals here.

America is Still a Beacon of Hope—For Those Who Follow the Law

Let’s be clear: America is still a land of opportunity. People from all over the world dream of coming here. And they should. But they need to do it legally.

Nobody is stopping good, honest people from coming to this country. Nobody is saying legal immigration is bad. What we are saying is that criminals, traffickers, and cartel members do not belong here. Period.

Final Thought: The Left Will Never Admit Trump is Right

No matter what Trump does, the media will spin it into a horror story. They will ignore the victims, ignore the violence, ignore the crime. They will pretend the problem doesn’t exist and frame every policy that enforces the law as “racist,” “extreme,” or “dangerous.”

But America voted for Trump overwhelmingly for a reason—because people are sick of lawlessness. Sick of seeing criminals walk free while innocent people live in fear. Sick of leaders who care more about political correctness than public safety.

So, let the media rage about Guantanamo. Let them scream about how Trump is being “too harsh.” Because at the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is this:

Americans will be safer. Our communities will be stronger. And the worst criminals will be exactly where they belong—far away from the people they want to terrorize.
