WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Biden administration is not sending migrants from the U.S. southern border to Guantanamo, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Thursday.

According to news reports, Wednesday’s announcement by the Department of Homeland Security stated that a contract had been issued for the operation of a Guantanamo migrant center. This facility would be used by Haitian migrants who are currently crossing the border into Mexico.

Psaki stated that there has never been any plan for such a facility. I believe there was confusion about the migrant Operation Center. This center has been in use for many decades and is used to interdict migrants at sea to allow them to be resettled in third countries.
