Washington, October 21 (RHC)-- One hundred twenty-five organizations sent a letter to the Biden administration asking the U.S. government to end its “diversion and mistreatment of asylum seekers by exiling them to Guantánamo, out of reach of their families, advocates, public consciousness — and the law.” 

The open letter to the U.S. president was organized by the Haitian Bridge Alliance and the International Refugee Assistance Project.  They say they have witnessed detained asylum seekers, including children, being held indefinitely in prison-like conditions with insufficient healthcare and little access to legal assistance.
