Democratic lawmakers are calling for President Obama to close Guantanamo Bay because "Donald Trump must be deprived of the use” of the controversial prison.
Representatives including New York City’s Hakeem Jeffries, Jerrold Nadler, Nydia Velazquez and Jose Serrano signed a letter sent to the White House Wednesday.
Obama promised during his first presidential campaign to close the facility on Cuban soil, which was filled with suspected terrorists during the Bush administration, some of whom have stayed there for years without a trial or charges.
The White House has said that it is working to move the 18 inmates who remain at the facility that have been approved to be transferred to other countries such as Yemen....

We should insist on keeping Gitmo, a shovel ready prison. It will be ready for the hundreds of prisoners resulting from A.G. Sessions seeing how many laws were broken by officials during the Obama/Hillary years.
Hopefully there is not time.
That pig is still alive?
Prisoner exchange?
Put Obama, Hillary, and Kerry in, and let the other terrorists go.
McLame won't shut up; the media won't tell the truth; the Intelligent agencies have all been outed; and all the World knows what's going to happen next...
Oh what an 8 years of laughter and fun we are going to have watching people looking like ‘garbage in the gutters’ because they have lost it all...LOLOL
For every murder that the released make,
Obama and the Democrats should be indicted.
There will be room in Guantanamo for all of them.
Wow. The Democrats want to PREVENT TERRORISTS FROM BEING IMPRISONED. The DemonRats just keep digging their holes deeper and deeper.
No one is going to want KSM.
Obama can’t close Gitmo. There is nowhere to transfer some of those prisoners.
Unless he wants to hang them all within the next 9 days.
You ask 10 people you know....if the U.S.A. has a prison in Cuba...
They will say no...we don't.
People in this country DO NOT PAY ATTENTION..period.
So how do we change that?
I say it's got to be done via the media....
You’re right.
And I wish dems would STFU for just 9 more days.
Geez..they remind me of some exes who wouldn’t STFU. Always bitching about something.
transferred to other countries such as Yemen....
*************************
Yemen?!
It’s a basket case embroiled in a bloody civil war.
How does 0dungheap give Congress at least 30 days notice of transfer of any more Gitmo thugs with only 9 days left in office?
“Representatives including New York City’s Hakeem Jeffries, Jerrold Nadler, Nydia Velazquez and Jose Serrano signed a letter sent to the White House Wednesday..”
Put the new prison in their neighborhood.
I thought Obama was supposed to close it...now I wouldn’t be surprised to see Trump expand it.
That is not purely a presidential decision. Besides, it’s too late, plus we will need that place for the most troublesome of mid-east refugees and gang members from South America. We should treat Gitmo like our little Australia.
Cuba cannot have it back just yet. Eventually, we may need to build another such place. Perhaps over in Guam.
Does Bath House have the authority to return Guantanamo to Cuban control within the next few days?
Public schools
“Perhaps over in Guam.”
How about Johnston Atoll? It’s us property and ready for prisoners. Not much to see in daylight hours but the nights are unbelievable.
