The administration must not under any circumstances send asylum seekers and migrants to the notorious Guantánamo Bay or other offshore detention locations. The United States should also immediately create swift, meaningful, and substantial safe pathways to protection for Haitians, and provide access to apply for asylum in the United States, without discrimination, and regardless of whether people travel by land, sea, or air in search of refuge.

We, at the Haitian Bridge Alliance, and the undersigned 288 immigration, civil rights, human rights, and faith-based organizations, are deeply alarmed by a report that your National Security Council is considering sending and “holding” Haitian asylum seekers interdicted at sea by the United States to third countries or an offshore migrant detention center at the Guantánamo Bay military base in Cuba, a site associated equally with cruelty towards Haitians and more recently, lawlessness, torture, and executive overreach.
