The State Department informed Congressional staffers on Capitol Hill of the announcement Tuesday evening, according to the sources.
The sources said Trump will permit Secretary of Defense James Mattis to allow the military to pick up alleged international terrorists and send them to the facility.
Politico was first to report the plan.
