Lummis: No Guantánamo Detainees on American Soil

Statement

Today U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis (WY-At large) joined a bipartisan majority of her colleagues to support and pass H.R. 5351, which would prohibit the transfer of any individual detained at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba through the end of President Obama's term. Under current law, detainees can be transferred to other nations if certain conditions are met. Two detainees who were released this year by the Obama Administration have returned to the fight.
"These detainees may pose a threat to the U.S.," said Rep. Lummis. "With released Gitmo detainees returning to the fight we cannot afford to let a campaign promise override security concerns. President Obama needs to be less concerned with political points and more concerned with Americans' safety."
