Trump administration seeks to transfer unnamed enemy combatant within 72 hours
The Hill ^ | 4/17/18

Posted on 04/17/2018 3:33:47 PM PDT by aMorePerfectUnion

The Trump administration intends to transfer a U.S. citizen held in Iraq as an enemy combatant for over six months to an unnamed foreign country within 72 hours, it revealed in a court filing on Tuesday afternoon.

The detainee has declined to consent to the transfer, according to the government, and a hearing has been set for Thursday morning.

The government did not name the country, but a U.S. official confirmed to The Hill that officials are seeking to transfer him to Saudi Arabia. The detainee, known publicly only as John Doe, also holds a citizenship there, The Hill has previously reported.

The federal disclosure came only under court order. In late December, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan had ordered that the government must provide Doe with 72 hour’s notice if were going to pursue such a transfer, in order to allow him to challenge the move in court — a restriction that the government has itself challenged.

Details of the transfer agreement remain unknown.

In its heavily-redacted filing, the Trump administration cited “extensive diplomatic discussions” regarding the transfer and urged the court not to delay it.

“Now that these intensive efforts have resulted in a commitment to transfer [redacted], it is imperative that the transfer occur quickly and smoothly,” an unnamed State Department official writes in an attached declaration.

Why was he holding dual citizenship?

Either you’re an American citizen or you’re not.

Enemy combatant. The US courts have NO jurisdiction or say in the matter.

If you’re a US citizen, and go overseas to fight with our enemies, you become a threat to the US, and get the same treatment as any POW.

All the more reason to provide no quarter, or no prisoners.

Eff’ing French leaders said they would demand sanctions if an arab country ever condemned to death one of their jihadis... Imagine that, France harboring terrorists and threatening arab nations for doing something about it.

We should tell them that we don’t want him back. Give them $50K to ship back any remains or belongings.

“Why was he holding dual citizenship? Either you’re an American citizen or you’re not.”

Supreme Court ruled it was fine back in ‘67.

This is the problem of dual citizens. They want the protection of the USA and the privileges of their home country. The US should not allow it.

My BIL holds a dual, American and Turkish. He’s the kind of guy we want! He built a plant that make special tooling for the Aero-Space industry. Loves America, but also loves the country he grew up in. He hates Erdogan!

Listen gents: I trust Trump. Do you think for 1 minute it would be Berghdahl? He had a MILF but his dad was a girlie man-about as manly as Monica Lewinsky’s M.D. dad.

No, ordinary POWs are entitled to certain rights. Those committing treason are entitled to an execution.

“The US Oath of Citizenship does.”

No longer requires the relinquishment of other citizenship, as back in my grandfathers day.
