Trump is planning to detain undocumented immigrants at military sites across the United States.

Trump’s team is developing a deportation hub at Fort Bliss in Texas that could eventually hold up to 10,000 undocumented immigrants as they go through the process of being deported.

Fort Bliss has been chosen as the starting point for the project and will be used for about two months for evaluation.

The military sites that will be used include military facilities and Air Force bases across the US.

Steve Bannon, former chief strategist for Donald Trump, calls for dismantling the CIA and FBI, labeling the CIA a “cancer” and part of the deep state.”

"We don’t want to have spies all over the world, we don’t want a CIA anymore. Is it going to make us less secure? We’re so insecure now.

The Chinese Communist Party is all over us. The KGB is all over us. The mullahs are all over us. The CCP is all over Wall Street, they’re in our universities. Their money is everywhere. Qatari money is everywhere. What secrets are we keeping? They all know it. We’re keeping it from the American people.

The CIA is a cancer. That’s the deep state, it’s a cancer that supports bad people."

Bannon uses his podcast and direct communication to influence the Trump administration, often questioning officials about their actions.
