The United States transferred 11 Yemeni men to Oman this week after holding them for more than two decades without charge in Guantanamo Bay, the Pentagon announced Monday.

The move marks the biggest push by the Biden administration to clear the detention facility at the U.S. naval base in Cuba of the last remaining detainees who were never charged with a crime, according to the Associated Press.
