The National Defense Authorization Act. NDAA. for 2017 keeps this crucial prohibition. Today I want to discuss one of the oftenoverlooked reasons why that prohibition should continue: the troubling immigration implications of transferring dangerous terrorist detainees from Guantanamo to the United States. This is a serious issue with serious consequences. and it is one that hasnt always been considered as prominently as it should be. A March 2016 report by the Center for Immigration Studies highlighted this problem. and I will mention that report again in a moment. About 80 detainees remain at Guantanamo today. In April of this year. nine detainees were released and returned to Saudi Arabia.
