U.S. Senator Jerry Moran and two other senators reintroduced the “Justice For 9/11 Act” to nullify any plea deals made between the U. S. Government and the Guantanamo Bay inmates who planned the attacks on September 11, 2001. This legislation is being reintroduced following a military judge’s decision that plea agreements could move forward. The Biden Administration also recently released 11 Guantanamo Bay detainees to Oman. Moran says the court’s decision to uphold the plea deal for three 9/11 conspirators is alarming, and, in addition to the plea deal, the Biden Administration continues to use its final days in power to release some of the world’s most violent terrorists from Guantanamo Bay. Moran says these men should face trial for their crimes, and congress must act quickly to pass the Justice For 9/11 Act.
Co-sponsor Senator Tom Cotton called the plea deal to the terrorist masterminds disgraceful and an insult to the victims of the attacks. He says the bill will stop the Biden Administration from releasing the most violent criminals in American history.
Senator Mitch McConnell believes it is congress’s obligation to deliver justice and the families of the victims of 9/11 deserve nothing less.
