A new report claims that President Joe Biden’s administration is considering using Guantanamo Bay to process illegal immigrants fleeing from increased gang violence in Haiti that threatens to completely overrun the country.
An anonymous U.S. official told CNN that the Biden administration is considering a plan that would expand the existing migrant processing center at Guantanamo Bay to potentially alleviate an increase in illegal immigrants attempting to flee to the United States from Haiti if the country continues to be plagued by gang violence. The New York Post noted that the Guantanamo Migrant Operations Center is separate from Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, where terrorist suspects are imprisoned.
According to The New York Post, the recent gang violence in Haiti has led to growing concerns that the current illegal immigration crisis at the southern border could be compounded with additional illegal immigrants fleeing from Haiti. The outlet noted that the Guantanamo Migrant Operations Center is located roughly 200 miles from Haiti and has been used to temporarily house illegal immigrants encountered by the U.S. Coast Guard for over three decades.
