Two Guantánamo detainees refused to leave. Now they’re stuck there, commander says.

Two detainees at the Guantánamo prison who were cleared for release during the Obama administration refused to cooperate with authorities arranging their departures and now can’t leave even if they wanted to because the Trump administration has ceased most prisoner releases.

“Two of them had an opportunity to get on an airplane and chose not to go. So how bad could it be here?” Navy Rear Adm. Ring told reporters.
