Biden Administration Executive Order on U.S. Hostages and Wrongful Detainees

On the site thanks to @ben_pollard1: lawfareblog.com/biden-administ…
@ben_pollard1 The EO declares a national emergency to deal with the issues of wrongfully detained U.S. nationals and hostage-taking abroad, and reinforces existing means of deterring and imposing costs on those responsible for wrongful detention and hostage-taking.

The order expands existing efforts and draws from recent legislation to "reinforc[e] the administration's tool kit in key ways.”

It authorizes the use of financial sanctions against actors involved in hostage-taking and wrongful detention and...

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.”

What has surprised @DavidPriess the most about the hearings?

He was not prepared for new information we've learned--after last hearing, the bar is high. He calls it "must see TV."

#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.
