  • After 23 years, the fate of the last Guantanamo detainees is at a critical juncture, influenced by ongoing court battles and negotiations.
  • The Biden administration aims to resolve remaining cases, particularly concerning Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, ahead of Donald Trump's potential return to office.
  • Guantanamo's population has been slashed from 40 to 15, largely due to Biden's expedited transfer of detainees, including 11 Yemenis this month, with all transfers having been completed under careful international agreements.
  • Many detainees suffered torture and were held without trial, complicating the legal resolution process, while human rights groups advocate for the release of uncharged detainees.
  • With uncertainty surrounding Trump’s approach to Guantanamo, some lawmakers propose legislation mandating death-penalty trials for 9/11 defendants, amidst potential shifts in U.S. detention policies.
