President Obama Delivers Statement On Plan To Close GITMO Detention Facility

WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 23: Vice President Joe Biden (L) listens to President Barack Obama make a statement about his plan to close the detention camp at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and relocate the terrorism suspects to the United States in the Roosevelt Room at the White House February 23, 2016 in Washington, DC. Attempting to follow through with a campaign pledge he made in 2008, Obama will continue to face an uphill battle to close the terror prison in Cuba because of strong opposition to the plan by congressional Republicans.
