The US government cannot continue to hide its diversion and mistreatment of asylum seekers by exiling them to Guantanamo, out of reach of their families, advocates, public consciousness and the law.
We demand that your administration close the Guantanamo Migrant Operations Center (MOC) and process asylum seekers encountered at sea in a manner consistent with US human rights obligations.
The US treatment of sea-travelling migrants, including interdicting them and keeping them in Guantanamo, has drawn new scrutiny following a report published in September by the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP).
All forced returns of people to Haiti, by air or by sea, must end now, said Guerline Jozef, executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, which signed the open letter.
