This amendment would have struck a provision of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that prevents the use of funds for transferring or releasing prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay Prison, making closure of the prison impossible. Guantanamo Bay is known for its incredibly inhumane treatment of prisoners. Its ongoing operation threatens our national security by undermining U.S. credibility and fueling recruitment efforts of violent extremists. Failed 167-257.
