Obama pushes to cut Guantanamo detainee number
The Obama administration races to release about 18 cleared detainees from Guantanamo Bay to comply with a diminishing prison population. With roughly 40 detainees remaining, including three convicted and seven charged, officials acknowledge some are too dangerous to release yet uninterested in prosecution. Republicans have blocked transfers and trials, while court challenges remain critical to resolving wartime detention. The piece cites cost, legal obstacles, and calls for fresh legal review as the presidency nears end.

The author questions whether Trump’s style harms the office’s public trust.
