Washington, November 2 (RHC)-- NBC News is reporting that the Joe Biden administration is considering expanding operations at the U.S. military base and prison at Guantánamo Bay -- located on occupied territory in eastern Cuba -- to hold hundreds of Haitians who are caught at sea trying to reach the United States. 
This comes as Haiti is facing a growing political and humanitarian crisis.  In the 1990s, the United States used Guantánamo to hold as many as 12,000 Haitians who fled the country following the U.S.-backed 1991 coup.
