Jenkins, Pompeo To Hold Special Town Hall On Guantanamo Bay Tomorrow | 2015-12-10 | 2015 | 2015-12 | Republican | House | KS | Lynn Jenkins | J000290 | lynnjenkins.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C.– Representatives Lynn Jenkins (KS-02) and Mike Pompeo (KS-04) will be holding a special town hall meeting tomorrow at the Leavenworth Heritage Center on Friday, December 11th, at 9am CT to discuss the President’s plan to potentially transfer Guantanamo Bay detainees to a mainland United States site which could include Fort Leavenworth. This town hall comes after recent news that a former Guantanamo Bay detainee has now emerged as a leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. After learning of the story, Congresswoman Jenkins reacted to the news: “This is just one more reason why it is necessary to hold a town hall for folks at Fort Leavenworth and the Leavenworth community to share their thoughts and concerns. It is deeply troubling to me that President Obama would seek to relocate dangerous Guantanamo Bay detainees, like this Al-Qaeda leader, next door to families simply trying to live their lives.” Guantanamo Bay Town Hall WHO: Representatives Lynn Jenkins and Mike Pompeo. WHAT: Special Town Hall Meeting On President Obama’s Plan To Possibly Transfer Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth. WHEN: Friday, December 11th at 9am CT. WHERE: Leavenworth Heritage Center - 109 Delaware St. Leavenworth, KS 66048 # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
