Obama tried to relocate/release all Gitmo detainees so he could close it, and got pretty far. But he couldn’t move the last few dozen without Congressional acquiescence – e.g., to put them in mainland federal prisons – but Congress blocked him with big bipartisan majorities. — PolitiTweet.org

The first and maybe hardest is Guantanamo. The 2001 AUMF is, sort of absurdly, the legal basis for holding detainees there. There are still 40 at Gitmo, and the US can’t detain them without a legal framework, however flimsy. — PolitiTweet.org

I **really** doubt that the politics around Gitmo have changed. In January, the GOP mad a big issue of Gitmo prisoners getting vaccinated based on medical need. The Pentagon acquiesced, withholding vaccinations from the detainees https://t.co/tAPZKiyVlO — PolitiTweet.org
