Kansas AG Sues Defense Dept. for Information on Gitmo Transfers

HeadlineJul 28, 2016

The state of Kansas has sued the Department of Defense for information on plans for what it calls an “unlawful transfer” of prisoners from Guantánamo to the U.S. The federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, is one of three sites the Pentagon is considering for possible transfers of some of the remaining 76 prisoners at Guantánamo. Kansas submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Pentagon in December 2015, seeking documents on the surveying of potential sites. The Kansas state attorney general says the request remains unfulfilled.
