“It’s highly concerning that the administration may be considering using Guantanamo to detain Haitian asylum seekers or others,” said Wendy Young, president of the immigrant advocacy group @supportKIND. “It’s a sense of déjà vu all over again."https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/biden-admin-seeks-contractor-run-migrant-detention-facility-gitmo-guards-n1279886 …

Biden admin's search for a contractor to operate ICE's Gitmo Migrant Operations Center, as we've reported all along, doesn't say anything about holding migrants from the border there. But Haitians and others interdicted at sea may continue to be, as DHS acknowledged last night.pic.twitter.com/vvdpDWijhm
The continued operation of the Gitmo MOC, as well as the Title 42 expulsions to Haiti and elsewhere, tactics of the USBP in Texas, and more are part of the reason even Biden allies are questioning his promise of a "fair, safe and orderly" immigration system.pic.twitter.com/HexmPu1Jkt
“Unrelated to the southern border” is how @PressSec described ICE’s MOC at Gitmo today.
But she made clear it *is* used for holding migrants — including Haitians — interdicted at sea — and that the admin is looking for a contractor to operate it.pic.twitter.com/D5dngaKMN2
