Today, 39 detainees remain at Gitmo. Nearly half are cleared for release/transfer, and haven't had charges or a trial, or are recommended for indefinite detention.
Should they shut down Guantanamo Bay?
Plus, it’ll be a LONG time before that happens. In September, 2017, it had 55 detainees remaining. And now in November, 2021, 39 detainees remain. And the process is long because while we had a detainee transferred out of Gitmo in July, 2021, that was the first time since January, 2018, we had someone released.
NOTE: 11/39 detainees have been charged with a crime.
