Biden administration to reopen migrant detention camp

The Biden administration is preparing to reopen a migrant detention camp on Guantánamo Bay in the wake of a surge of migrants and asylum seekers on the southern border.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) bureau is inviting tenders for private contractors to run the Migrant Operations Center on the US naval base, close to the prison compounds housing the remaining 39 detainees held in the “war on terror”.

The contractor would have to assemble tents and cots for a surge of migrant detainees at short notice. This action of Biden Administration came after severe criticism from human rights groups who say Haitian migrants and asylum-seekers are being deliberately flown back into mortal danger.
