The Obama administration has urged the Supreme Court to reject a petition filed by fourteen Chinese Uyghurs held at Guantánamo seeking their release into the United States. The Uyghurs are still being held at Guantanamo even though they are no longer considered enemy combatants. In a brief filed on Friday, the Obama White House backed the Bush administration’s claim that the court does not have the power to order the Uyghurs released into the United States.
