Supreme Court to rule on Guantanamo release of no threat detainees
The court will hear a challenge by 13 Chinese Uighurs about releasing detainees who pose no threat but have nowhere else to go in the United States. The case tests executive and legislative objections as the Uighurs fear return to China due to possible arrest or execution.
