WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) issued the following statement about President Obama's proposal to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay and transfer terrorists to the United States.
"Eight years later the President is trying to make good on an ill-conceived campaign promise in spite of bipartisan opposition over the years and the risks to the American people. The fact is President Obama has signed multiple bills prohibiting the transfer of dangerous terrorists to U.S. soil, and I oppose the White House's plan to now lift this ban and unnecessarily compromise our security."
