Refugee operations are being shut down at Guantanamo Naval Base. The base at the eastern tip of Cuba became a center of U.S. refugee operations during the summer of 1994, when thousands of Cubans and Haitians trying to reach the United States by boat or raft were intercepted at sea by U.S. Navy ships and brought to Guantanmo. NPR's Claudio Sanchez reports the last Cubans to leave the base will be resettled in the United States by the end of this month.
