On June 7, Majid S. Khan, a Pakistani detainee at Guantánamo Bay whose sentence ended on March 1, filed a 30-page petition for a writ of habeas corpus against Biden, Defense Sec. Austin, and L Okamura, the U.S. commander of Joint Task Force-Guantanamo.

lawfareblog.com/guantanamo-det…
The suit demands that the Biden admin approve Khan’s transfer anywhere outside of Pakistan, given that Khan could never return to the country without facing “substantial risk of persecution from myriad... actors” against whom he cooperated.

lawfareblog.com/guantanamo-det…
“For the same reason [substantial risk],” Majid S Khan's petition notes, “his wife and daughter must be safely resettled with him in a country other than Pakistan.”

#January6thCommitteeHearings
@DavidPriess .@mollyereynolds thinks the hearings show what Congress is capable of when a committee has the resources.

@nkorpett praises the coherent narrative the committee has been able to show. She's done investigations before.
