WASHINGTON — The House went on record Thursday against allowing detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba to be transferred to the United States, even to face trial or to be jailed in maximum-security prisons.
The 258-163 vote on a nonbinding recommendation put Democrats controlling the House in a difficult spot. If such a ban were to become law, the Obama administration would be hard-pressed to close the Guantanamo Bay prison by January as the president has promised.
