Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) has introduced legislation that would prohibit the transfer or release of individuals detained at the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba—which houses suspected and convicted terrorists, as well as others believed to pose a major security risk—into the United States.
The White House has said President Joe Biden plans to close the military prison, a move long championed by groups concerned about the humane treatment of detainees—some of whom have been incarcerated for long periods without trial—but opposed by those who argue the inmates are so dangerous as to warrant extraordinary security measures.
