As it scrambles to deal with the surge of Haitian migrants at the southern border, the Biden administration is seeking a private contractor to operate a migrant detention facility at the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, with a requirement that some of the guards speak Spanish and Haitian Creole, according to government records.

A little-known immigrant holding facility on the base has a capacity of 120 people, the records say, and it "will have an estimated daily population of 20 people," according to a solicitation for bids issued Friday by the Department of Homeland Security.

"The service provider shall be responsible to maintain on site the necessary equipment to erect temporary housing facilities for populations that exceed 120 and up to 400 migrants in a surge event," the contract solicitation says.

We could deport them to Haiti, but the Biden people think they can do a long weekend in Gitmo, allow the news cycle to cycle, and bring them back into the U.S.

Or put them in Gitmo and go shopping for an activist judge to rule that they are being improperly held and must be released to the U.S. interior.

Biden canceled private prison contracts early in his term. Hurt small towns.

A Chemical battalion is probably more appropriate to deal with Haitians.

“a capacity of 120 people”

There is a Haitian camp in Colombia with 20,000 Haitians in it:

I thought they were being flown back to Haiti. If they’re taking them as far at Gitmo, they might as well just drop them back off in Haiti.

There should be a final solution to Haiti. It includes turning it over to the Dominican Republic.

Hold on.... Wasn’t Joey Xi Bai Dung emptying Gitmo to house those 500 plus Republican dissident political prisoners he arrested after Jan 6 and he’s got in the DC Prison?
