Lauren Boebert Takes Action to Prevent GITMO Prisoners from Coming to America | 2022-06-09 | 2022 | 2022-06 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Today, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced the No Transferring GITMO Terrorists to America Act to prevent Biden from building a new facility on American soil to replace the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and prevent Biden from transferring or releasing known terrorists at Guantanamo into the United States. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said, “Terrorists should never be allowed to step foot on American soil. Democrats are calling for terrorists to be released from Guantanamo or to be moved to prisons across the country, including in Colorado. My bill confronts this destructive rhetoric and keeps these terrorists right where they belong: behind bars and out of America. While Biden was Vice President, the Obama regime released 196 terrorists from Guantanamo; unsurprisingly, many of those individuals have returned to terrorism killing American soldiers and civilians. After Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan failure, I think the country has had enough of his soft-on-terrorism strategy.” Background: Four members of the Taliban that were released when Biden was vice president are now leading the Afghanistan terrorist regime as the director of intelligence, the deputy defense minister, the minister of borders and tribal affairs, and the minister of information and culture. Even though the 2022 NDAA prohibits closing Guantanamo, Democrats are trying to circumvent the law and close it anyways. At Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing, Democrats proposed moving the terrorists imprisoned at Guantanamo to Florence, Colorado. Rep. Boebert’s No Transferring GITMO Terrorists to America Act will prevent the Biden regime from building a new facility on American soil to replace the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, and stop the Biden regime from transferring or releasing terrorists at Guantanamo into the United States. Reps. Elise Stefanik (NY-21), Ken Buck (CO-04), Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Doug Lamborn (CO-05, Mary Miller IL-15), Bill Posey (FL-08), and John Moolenaar (MI-04) joined the Congresswoman in introducing this legislation. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |
