NACDL - Coalition Letter to House on Blanket Bans to Transfer Guantánamo Detainees to U.S. (February 2011)

Coalition Letter to House on Blanket Bans to Transfer Guantánamo Detainees to U.S. (February 2011)

We strongly urge you to oppose the inclusion of sections 1112 and 1113 in H.R. 1, the continuing resolution for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2011. Sections 1112 and 1113 of H.R. 1 would impose a complete prohibition on the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to the U.S., even for purposes of prosecution in federal criminal court, and effectively end the resettlement or repatriation of detainees cleared by the United States for transfer to foreign countries.
