This letter from a coalition of human rights, civil liberties, national security, and religious groups urges House members to vote “NO” to three Guantanamo amendments to H.R. 5293, The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2017: Pompeo Amendment 34, Lamborn Amendment 29, and Hudson Amendment 28. These amendments will make closing the Guantanamo detention facility much more difficult and continue the practice of indefinite detention without charge or trial.
