Former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama fought to shut the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba, with the former reducing the prisoner count to 15. But President Donald Trump clearly doesn't agree with the approach and wants to fill GITMO with 30,
Trump said earlier Wednesday that the U.S. has "30,000 beds in Guantánamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people."
At the signing of the Laken Riley Act, President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is directing the opening of a detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The proposed constitutional amendment excludes presidents who served two consecutive terms, such as former President Barack Obama, from a third term.
This page lists the candidates for office endorsed by Barack Obama. According to Politico, Obama had not traditionally endorsed candidates prior to the 2016 election, when he prepared a list of 150 candidates in state and federal elections he would endorse.
Of the 780 people ever detained at Guantánamo, 540 were released during the presidency of George W. Bush, who established the detention facility. Obama, who signed an executive order on his second day in office pledging to close Guantánamo within a year, released 200.
After some initial momentum and a few successes, Biden leaves office like his predecessors, with the prison at Guantánamo Bay open, and the 9/11 case unresolved.
