Hudson Responds to Obama’s Plan to Close Guantanamo Bay
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) responded to President Barack Obama’s plan to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay:
 
“At a time when the American people’s number one concern is national security, the president is doubling down on his dangerous campaign promise to shutter Guantanamo Bay. Despite the president’s attempts, folks continue to agree that we don’t want these war criminals and hardened terrorists transferred to American soil - which current law prohibits - or transferred to other countries to return to the battlefield against us. I am confident that Congress will scrutinize the proposal and reject any plan that puts our national security at risk.”
 
Last November, Congress passed and the president signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act. This bill explicitly prohibits the president from transferring Guantanamo Bay detainees to American soil, continuing a bipartisan ban that has been in place since 2011.
