Unfortunately, this is only the latest instance of President Obamas failed commitment to protect Americans at home and abroad. "It is especially concerning that the President would issue this order just days before he is expected to sign the bipartisan and bicameral National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law, which would prohibit him from releasing these detainees. This action highlights the President's intention on bypassing Congress and the American People to advance his own agenda. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
