Human rights groups decry US plan for Guantánamo camp for Cuban migrants

Dozens of US and international human rights organizations are decrying the Trump administration's plans to establish a migrant "camp" for fleeing Cubans at the Guantánamo Bay military base. These 85 groups plan to submit a joint letter to US senators and House representatives, expressing "profound concern" over comments made by a top Department of Defense commander regarding the plan. The organizations describe any prospect of further migrant detention at the base as "deeply troubling and unacceptable." This comes as the Trump administration considers how to "deal with" those fleeing any humanitarian crisis on the island, particularly if the crisis worsens under US pressure.
