Guantanamo Bay Detainees To Be Moved To Illinois

The Obama administration said yesterday that it will move some Guantanamo Bay detainees to an Illinois prison and hold military commission trials there. The prisoners will be moved to the Thomson Correctional Center in northwestern Illinois. Prison officials stated that they can only house a limited number of detainees from Guantanamo in addition to other federal inmates. The administration plans to expand security at the facility making it the most secure in the U.S. to hold military commision trials inside its walls.
