Gitmo--A multifaceted USNB

Did we know that State Department and DHS's ICE operate a "migrant" facility at Guantanamo Bay?

The MOC (Migrant Operations Center) has a capacity of 100 migrants with an additional capacity of approximately 400 migrants in the event of surge. This dynamic population may consist of single adult males and females, unaccompanied male and female juveniles, and family groups of various nationalities and security levels.

Most migrants who eventually arrive at MOC are interdicted at sea in the Caribbean region by the US Coast Guard. Interdicted migrants are not brought to the United States in order to discourage illegal and dangerous voyages by sea and to encourage future migrants to pursue safe and legal migration options.
It is longstanding U.S. policy and practice to provide all migrants with an opportunity to seek and receive protection against persecution or torture. Migrants interdicted at sea in the Caribbean region are brought to the MOC if ICE determines that they have a “credible fear” of persecution upon return to their country of origin on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion, or if they would likely face torture upon return to their country of origin. If after additional in-depth interviews, a migrant is determined to have a “well-founded fear” of such persecution or would more likely than not face torture, then they are granted “protect” status, and the U.S. houses and cares for that person at the MOC while it finds a third country that is willing to resettle him/her. Migrants found to not meet the required threshold are repatriated to their country of origin. “Protect” migrants are free to return to their country of origin upon request.

The “protect” population is not incarcerated or detained. They live in a relatively unrestricted environment, and have substantial freedom of movement in that they are permitted to sign themselves in and out of the facility to participate in activities on the leeward side of the base. This component is in place for accountability purposes only. Some restrictions of movement are necessary due to security concerns surrounding other USNB missions.

And what laws apply here?
