The Biden administration is discussing using Guantanamo Bay to process Haitian migrants if there is a mass exodus to the US amid worsening conditions in the country, according to a US official.

For years, Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, which is located about 200 miles from Haiti, has had a migrant center to hold and process migrants before returning them to Haiti or a third country.

The center — which is separate from where terrorist suspects are held — has been used before. In 2010, for example, the US military prepared the site in anticipation of Haitians fleeing the earthquake-stricken country.

Honestly decommissioning GitMo from a torture chamber to a Caribbean Ellis Island is not the story arc I had in mind but I can see potential here.

I wonder how many refugees Cuba would be willing to take in exchange for Gitmo being returned.
