Republicans Question Supreme Court Nominee’s Role in Guantanamo Cases

Republicans raise concerns over Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson and her defense of Guantanamo Bay detainees. The Guantánamo Bay military prison opened in 2002 on a U.S. naval base in Cuba to imprison terrorism suspects after the 9/11 attacks. The Republican National Committee argued, “despite Jackson’s claim that she did not get to choose her clients as a public defender, she continued to advocate for Guantanamo terrorists when she went into private practice.”
