Trump: Terrorists are unlawful enemy combatants and should be treated like the terrorists they are 11 Hours Ago | 03:15.
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order keeping open the controversial U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Trump announced that move during his State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
The prison on the American military base at Guantanamo Bay has been used for years to detain accused terrorists and enemy combatants.
Trump's decision to keep it open was immediately condemned by groups that have lobbied for its closure.
I just signed an order directing [Defense] Secretary [James] Mattis to re-examine our military detention policy and to keep open the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay," the president said.
Most of the men remaining at Guantanamo have been there for more than a decade without charge or trial," Venters said. »
